Encore (aka SunShower)

A young Chinese American man enters a memory-care facility to visit his ailing grandma with dementia, but she mistakes him for her long-lost love. He plays along to bring her joy, but as he goes deeper into his new “role”, he must fight to retain his true self.

A Sci-fi Odyssey where humanity fights for survival against a peaceful form of mutation.

Developed for Series or Trilogy film.

An enigmatic prodigy pays a visit to a game company with a reputation for innovative disruption. But when he showcases his own innovation—a “storytelling” device that scans its wearer to generate an original work of fiction—no one in the room is prepared for the disturbing stories that their minds inspire.

Written and Directed by Jennifer Zhang

Produced by Gina Su, Jonathan Hsu, Randy Chung

Pitch Deck and treatment Available on request

A slice of life in the time of corona. Thousands of invisible front line workers risk their health every day to bring food to your couch. They aren't just immigrants struggling to survive in New York City. They aren't just the delivery men and women you don't look at when you open your door. They are the backbone of this city, they are the essential. Most importantly, they are people too and they deserve our respect and recognition now more than ever. Tip generously if you'd like and give them PPE if you can.

I've been riding alongside couriers and messengers in the city for a decade. In the past, I've been mistaken as a delivery biker whenever I carry any sort of bag even in my own building, probably because I'm asian. That used to annoy me, but now I realize they're more needed than most of us.
