About Me
Hailing from San Francisco and Los Angeles, I am a highly versatile artist with a background in film & television and a decades-long passion for the arts. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to be associated with multiple high-profile brands and each day I continue to pursue doing the many things I love at the highest level.
01
Film & Television
Writer, Director, and Producer of the films WINDFALL & EULOGY. While my first passion for film was in cinematography, I quickly transitioned to directing as I had stories near and dear to my heart that I wanted to tell on my own. I am currently represented by ICM (CAA) as both a screenwriter & director.
02
Branded Content
I have nearly a decade of experience in working with brands through our partner agency, Mercy Brothers. Together, we have produced countless commercials, trailers, and reels for a variety of high-profile brands as clients.
03
Art & Animation
My first love for the screen was animation and continues to be the ultimate goal I strive for. There are screenplays I have written strictly with the goal of animation in mind and to this day, I continue to delve into this world, pushing the boundaries of my expertise in this realm.
​
04
Web3
My most recent venture in art has been with Web3 and the emerging NFT industry. I have designed 3D model sets and have a 2D animated NFT, called Drakoids, arriving onto the Ethereum Blockchain. Additionally, I have worked with other successful NFT brands such as FUDDERS and SPACE WARRIORS CLUB.
​
Film & Television
WINDFALL (Feature Film)
My flagship film, WINDFALL, is a feature film currently in development, detailing themes of generational trauma amongst a Chinese-American family, spanning decades. The screenplay and concept trailer has garnered high praise across the industry and was awarded a spot on the 2018 Blacklist Lab for its powerful story and masterful depiction of Asian Americans on screen.
EULOGY (Short Film)
A young girl must learn how to perfectly recite a eulogy for her departed grandmother in Mandarin, a language she has yet to master -- in one day.
