ABOUT FILMMAKER(S)
Director Sharon Yeung
Sharon is a Hong Kong director-producer who makes documentaries in short, feature and immersive formats. Her immersive work MADE: meet me at the end of the assembly line, a VR documentary that follows an iPhone factory worker in China and Create Your Own, an interactive documentary about creativity and young people’s search for identity has won multiple digital awards like W3 and DFA Awards. Her work is driven by characters with a strong sense to mobilize change, especially around issues of gender and autonomy and she is compelled to experiment with the boundaries of multidisciplinary storytelling. In 2017, she founded Singing Cicadas; a female led collective that creates immersive non-fiction storytelling around social justice issues. She received her BA in Film at the University of Southern California. She’s a Rooftop Filmmaker Fund Grantee, an IDFA Doc Lab fellow as well as a Sundance Producers Summit fellow and her work in progress has been supported by Sheffield Meetmarket and CPH:Forum. Very occasionally when she is not making films, she makes storytelling board games.
Natalie A. Chao is a filmmaker who completed her B.A degree in Film Production at USC in Los Angeles, with a focus in cinematography. Born, raised and currently based in Hong Kong, she is interested in bridging the gap between realism and poetry in order to tell stories through a more engaged and intentional gaze, one that can map out our memories, not draw lines between camera and subject, identity and politics. Natalie's documentary short, To Know Her, premiered as an Official Selection at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and has been screening worldwide in theatres as part of the 2021 Sundance Shorts Tour.
She is a Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellow, a Rooftop Filmmakers Fund grantee, and recipient of the 2021-22 Doc NYC x VC Storytelling Incubator Mentorship. Her work-in-progress has been selected to pitch at the Sheffield Doc/Fest Meetmarket, Sundance Producers Summit and IDFA Forum. She was also a featured speaker at the 2021 Adobe MAX Creativity Conference.
