This film is an effort to dispel the “model minority” myth that pits ethnic communities against each other, and to urge us to recognize that we all belong here, together.

Jackie is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles. She is a first-generation Taiwanese American and is drawn towards highlighting experiences of connection and empathy. She attended AFI and was a participant of the AFI CIW and Double the Line programs. Prior to film, she studied photography and human rights and worked at Magnum Photos. She is a graduate of Bard College and Carnegie Mellon. She loves movies, surfs on small days, and hikes with her dog Billy.
I’m a cinematographer born and raised in Los Angeles. I’m drawn towards highlighting experiences of connection and visualizing emotions to tell the story. I believe the work we do together as filmmakers help heal and increase our capacity for empathy for each other. I love what I do.
