I'm a Chinese documentary filmmaker and photographer based in New York City,
but I work everywhere.
In 2024, I graduated from New York University's Master of Arts program in News and Documentary. My thesis film, My Lens, My Land, is currently being screened globally.
I produce, direct, film, and edit stories driven by curiosity, often exploring the profound relationship between land and people. With a background in business, economics, and the Semester at Sea program, Iām equally drawn to the impact of visual storytelling beyond the lens. Currently part-time at a community-based nonprofit in Brooklyn, I ground my practice in lived experience, observing and listening with an anthropological eye.
