About me

EN

Born in Beijing, raised in a small German town in a patchwork family, I’ve been the “new kid” since age nine. It wasn’t always fun, but it makes for good stories. Mostly about being the odd one out, finding my people, and ending up in places I never planned to go. Which is probably why I write about misfits, unexpected adventures, and people who cry at airports.

After many years working for film festivals and productions –  including being the co-founder and former head of the Berlin Asian Film Network – I earned my MFA in Screenwriting from the University of Southern California in 2022 as an Annenberg fellow.

Since then, I’ve been creating stories that explore themes like home, unlikely friendships, and dysfunctional families – often through genres such as Comedy drama, Coming-of-Age, Historical drama and Crime.

I’m currently based in Braunschweig, Germany.

Ich erzähle Geschichten, die empowernd wirken, ohne mit der moralischen Keule zu winken – oft in einem nicht so ernsten Ton und am liebsten mit Asiatisch-Deutschen Figuren im Fokus.

Nach vielen Jahren in der Filmfestival- und Produktionsarbeit (u. a. als Mitgründerin des Berlin Asian Film Network und dessen Leitung von 2012 bis 2018) habe ich 2022 mein MFA-Studium in Drehbuch für Film und TV an der University of Southern California abgeschlossen. 

Meine Geschichten kreisen um Identität, Selbstfindung, Familie und Freundschaft, oft im Comedy-Drama, Coming-of-Age, Krimi oder historischen Drama.

Zurzeit lebe ich in Braunschweig.
