MY STORY

I am a cinematographer working between China and the United States. I have always been drawn to stories about emotional tension, memory, identity, and the subtle distances that exist between people. Through cinematography, lighting, and the texture of physical spaces, I try to capture the small emotions that characters are unable to express directly. To me, cinema is ultimately an art of observation and listening — a process of breathing together with the director, the space, and the emotional rhythm of the characters.

​

Born in Beijing, I began my visual practice studying still photography at the School of Visual Arts. I later transferred to Emerson College to continue my studies in film production. After graduation, I completed an MPhil in Film and Screen Studies at University of Cambridge, and I am currently pursuing graduate studies in cinematography at the American Film Institute.

​

My work has been selected and screened at festivals including the Tokyo International Short Film Festival, the New York International Short Film Festival, and the European Film Festival. Moving forward, I hope to continue creating films that feel emotionally truthful and that linger in the audience’s memory long after the screening ends.
