Documentary FilmmakingPeople Republic of Letter2022-2024
A work-in-progress feature-length documentary following young Chinese diasporic poets across Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong, New York City, London, and Australia.

Built on community co-creation, the film captures intimate stories of writers navigating multiple languages, cultural identities, and how they rebuild communities.

As Co-Producer and NYC-Cinematographer of this film, I was supporting the director Ruoyun Chen throughout the journey. 


This project is researched and incubated at:
 
MIT Open Documentary Lab
UnionDocs Summer Lab


Also an official Selection of IDFA Pitch Forum 2024
