about second avenue productions
Making films that matter since 2012
DISCOVER MORE
My name is Jin-Theng Craven and I am a Leeds-based journalist, filmmaker and arts producer. But that wasn’t always my story.
I originally worked in the City, with a career in banking and I’m often asked what prompted such a sea-change. My answer? A compulsion to tell the untold stories: those of ordinary people with extraordinary lives. To introduce the audience to undiscovered topics and offer fresh perspectives on familiar ones.
That is the reason I founded Second Avenue Productions. Working closely with clients and subjects, I create high-quality, compelling documentaries in collaboration with colleagues in the creative community.
Why me?
I created Second Avenue Productions as a creative hub, producing high-impact documentaries that provide the results you want within the budget that you can afford.
I work closely with my clients and collaboraters to ensure great storytelling and guaranteed quality.
Whether you are a potential client who would like to discuss a project or a creative who would like to work with me, I would love to hear from you.
What others say
Asia House has partnered Jin Craven on a number of projects – from Connecting Culture/ Singapore Uncovered Festivals to a charity Jazz Concert.
Jin Craven was a great delight to work with, a true professional and a perfectionist in all that she does. But above all, it was great fun working with her and I’ve learned a lot from her abundant knowledge and experience.

I worked with Jin on ‘Edge of Obedience’ as her Story Consultant and then Film Editor. Jin generates great ideas bringing the world of South East Asia to the West through fascinating characters. She is a marathon runner who can keep up momentum on her film projects over long periods of time with great concentration. Above all, I would say she has exemplary organisational skills. If you want a producer in SE Asia, or anywhere else, I would recommend Jin. Her sunny disposition and can-do attitude make her a great colleague and an inspiration to any team.

I first met Jin when I was looking for a producer for my debut feature film, Tell Me About It.
Jin became the mentor I truly needed. She not only shared industry insights that helped develop the film, but also offered guidance that had a lasting impact on my growth as a filmmaker.
Her feedback on both my script and production process was constructive and honest, delivered in an encouraging way to gave me the confidence I needed to push forward. I’m deeply grateful for her support during such a pivotal time in my career
