Additional information:
As a film student, I am attached to ideas, thoughts and collect even the smallest inspirations in my notebook, such as a well-told joke at the lunch table. I would spend time elaborating them, looking for the potential to put them on screen. As a person who pays close attention to film, TV and gaming industries for many years, I believe that my qualification is vital to your organization.
With my educational background and previous internship experience including Sundance Film Festival, American Film Market, AFI Fest and Israel Film Festival, I am adept in office
management, clients' negotiation and coordinating requirements. Being able to work with an intense schedule and under extreme pressure, I embrace challenges and become a good asset who is a dependable, multitasker and can handle anything that is assigned to me. As a result, I got a hilarious nickname from my former employer and colleagues - Swiss Army Man.
I left home when I was 17 years old, moved from China to America alone studying filmmaking. With ambition, fear and a plan, I have learned how to connect people of different beliefs and cultures. The experience of working in the film industry has equipped me with impressive communication skills. As a creative and young promising artist, I would be an excellent
addition to your company.
