FILM
SYNOPSIS: A man from another dimension loops through time in search of the ultimate answer, accompanied only by his unusual pets.
The film was recently awarded "Best Short", "Best Student Short", "Best Experimental Short", and "Best Fantasy Short" at the Indie Short Fest. The hardest part was driving around Chicago for, like, three hours to find a very, very specific fish bowl.
"THIS IS A TEST" (2020)

"NEUTRAL GOOD" (2020)
DIR. MEGA DAFIAGHOR
STARRING ERIN ZHANG
SYNOPSIS: An anally retentive woman aims to have a spontaneous birthday and blackmails her reckless neighbor in order to do so.
I had a lead acting role in my dear friend Mega's senior thesis film at Northwestern. We shot during Winter 2020 over two (very cold) weekends around Evanston. My character was specifically written in for an Asian-American actress, which in itself was very neat to identify with a character on a deeper level.
"DOGMEAT" (2019)
DIR. JESSE ZHOU
starring erin zhang
SYNOPSIS: Two misfits end up kidnapping someone and must face the consequences.
Playing a lead misfit in this short was my first time acting for the screen. I have never been as cold as I was during this set, donning a skimpy jacket in the middle of a snowy forest. But! It was worth it because I discovered a lot about filmmaking and changed my major to film after this set!
