TCK writer/director/die-hard cinephile🎥

based in Los Angeles, CA🌴

Born in Korea and raised on nine international/domestic moves across Korea, Malaysia, China, and the United States, Jiwon never quite felt like she belonged — so she decided to go f@#! it and laugh at the parody of cultures she’s become by becoming a filmmaker. She loves to tell stories about characters who are as bizarrely weird as her, then find them a true home, just as she hopes to find one day.

Jiwon is known for dressing super well thanks to her mom who still shops her clothes for her (I’m telling you, it’s completely normal).  When she’s not writing / making / watching / wishing she could make movies, she’s probably watching anime or WeChat calling her 15.5-year-old Qingdao-born family Yorkie Rudy.

Jiwon holds a B.A. in Cinema & Media Studies + Screenwriting & Entertainment Industry Minor from the University of Southern California.
