The Victim

"The Victim” is a psycho thriller in which a female victim recreates her trauma of being assaulted by a psychopath during a session with the psychologist. The psychologist seems to know the truth of the incident, as he slowly guides the victim to realize what actually happens...

Bingo Night

“Bingo Night” is my final project cut for the Motion Picture Editing course at USC. This comedy film is about Granny Ethel receiving a notice of eviction from her retirement home. Insisted on staying, she co-conspires with Vivian and Ruth, plotting to rob the local bingo hall.

DOOR

In March 2020, during COVID-19 shutdown, I spent two weeks creating this microfilm “Door” with my only friend around. It is a thriller about a couple getting trapped in a sketchy church, never have been able to escape from the door. We shot the film in a little Catholic church on campus, which was an interesting experience that brought a bit of joy to our depressing quarantine life.

High School Films

‘STARLIGHT’ Filmmaking Club

In September 2015, I started a filmmaking club with some of my friends, which ended up recruiting 30 members. Our goal was to make one 30-minute microfilm per semester that could truthfully represent our student life. We made two microfilms in 2015; the latter one, "STARLIGHT”, went viral and resonated with all our fellow schoolmates.

Film Production

Club's Film-'STARLIGHT'

'STARLIGHT,' sharing the same name as our club, was the last film we made in high school. I was the chief producer, main editor and one of the main actors of this film. The movie is based on the club’s cofounders’ real-life struggle as we were caught in the middle of dream and reality. With high hopes to make quality films and tell meaningful stories, we started the club only to watch it fail due to the heavy academic pressure faced by our senior film crew… The film impressed teachers and parents, and struck a chord with every student who was once on the same boat. I’m proud that our film had the power to motivate our peers, bringing them comfort and making them feel heard and understood.

Columbia Summer Course-Digital Filmmaking

In July and August 2016, I attended a filmmaking summer course in Columbia University, 'Digital Filmmaking-From Initial Concept to Final Edits', to learn more concepts and useful skills of filmmaking. With other group members, we made 4 short films and a 7-minute microfilm.

The Reference Letter from Professor George LaVoo

Me with Professor LaVoo

2016 Columbia Filmmaking Memory

This is the documentary of our filmmaking class. I volunteered to direct, shoot, and edit it in order to capture our summer memories. I shot footages of team members working on their projects and had students as well as the professor share their opinions on filmmaking. This documentary was a meaningful gift appreciated by everyone in the course that summer, and I’m glad I managed to put it all together.

Me, My Shadow, and I

This is a horror film made by my final project group. We spent a whole day locking ourselves in a small room to shoot this thriller. I was in charge of sound effect and editing. The film was praised as "an impressive psychological thriller" by the professor. When the film was shown to the public, the ending did make many audience scream. I was quite proud of that.

Grandiose

This is a music video of Eason Chen's "Grandiose", with me as the director and the main editor. For this project, the professor assigned the only four Chinese students in the class into a group to make a film that can demonstrated Chinese culture. We called our group "The Chinese Squad," and chose Eason's most famous song "Grandiose" to made this MV. It demonstrates an exaggerated Chinese student who tried to fit into the college community but eventually failed.
