BIOGRAPHY:
Cinder Chou is a Taiwanese American writer, director, and producer originally from the oft maligned state of New Jersey and currently resides in Brooklyn. An early love for comic books turned into a passion for visual storytelling. Her work explores themes of otherness through a comedic and surreal style.
Cinder’s early career as a production coordinator (The Big Sick, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) gave her the professional know-how to launch her own films. Her work has screened at many festivals in the U.S. and her debut feature Artist Unknown is currently on the festival circuit in 2023. In 2023 she was named The Artists Forum's Artist of the Year.
