I am a New York writer/filmmaker.
I am the director/producer of “New York Jianghu,” a feature documentary about the legacy of kung fu in New York City, from Hollywood to anti-Asian hate.
My written reporting has appeared in The South China Morning Post, National Geographic, Polygon, The Wall Street Journal and WSHU Public Radio. I have produced video for Business Insider and CoinDesk. I have edited for CineVue, the culture vertical of the Asian American International Film Festival and Rosmei, the Chinese-to-English publishing house.
In 2018-2019, I provided research for the Emmy-winning “Who Killed Malcolm X?” investigative Netflix documentary. The Manhattan DA examined evidence provided in the documentary and ultimately exonerated the alleged killers of the civil rights leader. In 2021, I spearheaded research on Asian American Pacific Islanders’ media consumption, which led to the creation of the digital platform, Netflix Golden.
I was born and raised in Flushing, New York.
