Director Biography - Zoe Chen

Hey! I’m Zoe! I am a character animator from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I just finished my studies for my B.F.A in animation at Savannah College of Art and Design. While I am a 2D animator, I am also a storyteller. My parents are from Taiwan and have raised me with tales about their home country. This built the foundation for me to find my love in storytelling. I find inspiration in the people I meet, the stories they tell and the experiences they create. I have always been drawn to telling emotionally driven stories because it connects to what it means to be human. I love telling stories that to push the limits of animation through unconventional and unique stories.

Director Statement

Alone Together is a concept I developed in my junior year at SCAD. Out of 110 films pitched to a board of professors, Alone Together was one of the 35 films greenlit for production.
Alone Together developed from my own personal struggles with communication within my relationships and how much miscommunication hurt both sides. Fear is often an uncomfortable and irrational emotion and emotions are messy, fluid, and loud. It is the perfect medium to explore unique stories.
