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 second-gen Taiwanese immigrant based in LA. He specializes in using his psychology 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.
Past experiences include being the Seasonal Episodic Lab Coordinator at the Sundance Institute, AAPI Student Lead at the Center for Scholars & Storytellers, Public Engagement Intern at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Development Intern at Film Independent, and Creative Diversity Equity & Inclusion intern at WarnerDiscovery.
He co-wrote, produced, and directed the magical realism short FISH, which was an official selection at Asian American International Film Festival, Boston Asian American Film Festival, NewFilmmakers LA Film Festival InFocus: Asian Cinema, winner of the Youth Grand Jury Prize at Astoria Film Festival, and winner of the Audience Award at Film Invasion LA.
A Get Lit Screenwriters Lab Fellow, RespectAbility Entertainment Lab TV Writing Fellow, 1in4 Writers Mentorship Program Fellow, ACEX Foundation Writing Fellow, Academy Diverse Reader’s Program Certified Story Analyst, and Coverfly Best Unrepped Writers List 2022 Honoree, he is being mentored by Lee Isaac Chung through the Academy Gold Rising Mentorship Program and Lee Eisenberg through the Group Effort Initiative Mentorship Program. He is currently directing a short sci-fi documentary for PBS American Masters.
