Stories to inspire, heal, bring joy, and educate.
I make films to validate the experiences of my audience and to inspire generations. I write, produce, act and direct.
Mission
I’m a filmmaker that tells stories with strong female leads.
Overvalued Startup
A group of unlikely founders get funded by a 20 year old YouTube start turned venture capitalist - or do they?
Screened at at Regal Cinemas LA Live at The Culver City Film Festival, TCL Chinese Theater Hollywood, and the Military Veterans Entertainment Awards.
“Films have the capacity to change a mind, and that can change a life. I grew up with mixed messages as an Asian woman in both America and Asia. I am caught between what I’m told I can do, what I should do, what I actually do, and seeing what behavior is rewarded. I want people to watch my films and see themselves and the possibility of what they can be.”
