During her decades-long career as an independent film editor in NYC, Jax cut everything from documentaries about the aftermath of the US war in Vietnam, to an experimental short about queerness and surveillance, to the karaoke video for Hanson’s MMMBop. In her free time she’s an amateur Bollywood dancer. For her first short film as a director, she turned to her community of teachers and fellow dance students. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS premiered at and won the audience award at the Boston Asian American Film Festival in October 2021 and has gone on to receive multiple awards as the festival run continues. The dancers in BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, along with others, share their stories in Jax’s feature documentary BOLLYWOOD, NYC now in post production.
