Hey, I’m Jerry!
I've spent much of my life meeting new people and acclimating to new environments, having grown up in China and Australia before moving to the US for film school. Such constant change has made me a curious and open-minded editor because seeing the world from 3 different continents has made me painfully aware of the fact that I know so little.
I believe that we are always greater than the sum of our parts and I love working with collaborators who offer differing views and together, we bring out ideas within each other that we didn’t know we had.
A few things I’ve loved to get to know me:
Journey to the West (1986 Chinese TV Show)
The city of Chengdu (more on that here)
2010s YouTube pop covers
Super Smash Bros.
La La Land (2016) dir. Damien Chazelle
Ping Pong the Animation (2014) dir. Masaaki Yuasa
Yi Yi (2000) dir. Edward Yang
Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Emotion" album
