I am a filmmaker interested in finding new aesthetic ways of exploring the boundaries between species, class, and unequal states of personhood. 

I direct, produce, and shoot my films. My work has been showcased internationally, including at Sundance, SXSW, IDFA, Tribeca, AFI Fest, Museum of Modern Art, True/False, New York Times Op-Docs, Field of Vision, and PBS’ POV. 

I've been featured in Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” DOC NYC’s "40 Under 40" List, and Cannes Lions’ "New Directors Showcase.” I am a recipient of the Locarno, NYFF, Yaddo, and MacDowell artist fellowships, and was selected for the Concordia Studio Fellowship and the Gotham HBO Doc Development Initiative.

My debut feature, STRAY, won Best International Feature at Hot Docs and received nominations from the Independent Spirit Awards, Critics Choice Documentary Awards, and Cinema Eye Honors after premiering at Tribeca in 2020. A New York Times “Critic’s Pick,” STRAY was released theatrically by Magnolia Pictures and is now streaming on Hulu. My short films — including “HOTEL 22,” “BISONHEAD,” and “MOTHER’S DAY” — have been acquired by colleges and libraries worldwide. 

I was born and raised in Hong Kong and hold a BFA from NYU Tisch and an MFA from Stanford University. I live between China and the US. Currently, I am in post-production on my second feature documentary, MISTRESS DISPELLER— co-financed by Anonymous Content and Impact Partners, and supported by the Concordia Studio Fellowship.
