I’m a filmmaker with a deep investment in telling stories that explore pressing social and environmental injustices. In dealing with complicated topics like religious nationalism, plastic pollution, or suicide prevention, my primary motivation is to translate complex information into actionable knowledge that empowers viewers. I’ve served as assistant editor to Academy Award-winning documentarian Freida Lee Mock on her features Ruth and The Choir and Conductor and associate editor on Suzanne Joe Kai’s Like a Rolling Stone: The Life and Times of Ben Fong-Torres. In 2019 I co-wrote and edited Wake Up: Stories from the Frontlines of Suicide Prevention. I’m currently on the festival circuit with my directorial debut, Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism’s Unholy War on Democracy. I received my BA in Film Studies from UC Berkeley and my MFA in Film and TV Production from Loyola Marymount University.
For decades, a powerful authoritarian movement has been distorting faith for political gain. Two sides - one rooted in the social gospel of MLK, the other in White Christian Nationalism - now vie for the soul of American Democracy.
Four gripping, unique stories from the frontlines of suicide prevention, those of American veterans, the LGBT community, university students, and gun owners, weave together into a call to action.
The documentary about Ben's life is an epic sweep through the world of rock and roll. The American-born son of Chinese immigrants, Ben grew up in Chinatown with only a radio to the outside world.
