I want to tell genuine stories that bridge the divide in our world. As a DEI advocate, my goal is to explore themes that destigmatize mental health and intergenerational trauma while amplifying the voice of my AAPI community.
Jeremy Hsing is a humanistic sci-fi writer, mental health advocate, and 2nd-gen Taiwanese immigrant based in LA. He specializes in using his therapist background (BA in Psychology and double minor in art history and film from UCLA) to construct elaborate worlds in which his characters are forced to experience an internal reckoning in the pursuit of an emotional catharsis.
Jeremy is currently the Sundance Episodic Lab Coordinator. Previously, he was an Academy Certified Story Analyst, a Coverfly Best Unrepped Writers List 2022 Honoree, and alum of several entertainment writing labs - RespectAbility, 1IN4 Coalition, and Get Lit. He is currently mentored by Lee Isaac Chung through the Academy Gold Rising Mentorship Program. His magical realism short film FISH is currently on the film festival circuit and has premiered at NFMLA InFocus: Asian Cinema and the Asian American International Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize at the Astoria Film Festival and the Audience Award at Film Invasion LA.

“We are all born with a certain package. We are kind of stuck inside that person, and the purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people. For me, the movies are like a machine that generates empathy. If it’s a great movie, It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us. And that, to me, is the most noble thing that good movies can do." -Roger Ebert
