EUN-KYOUNG ANNETTE CHO
With a desire to explore art forms with a broader reach, I pursued an MFA in Creative Producing in filmmaking at UNCSA, ranked among the top 10 film schools by Hollywood Reporter. There, I honed skills in development, pitching, copyright, finance, and marketing.
My commitment to minority issues in film inspired me to create a short documentary on mental health, which led to an internship with the editor of a Sundance-winning documentary. This experience allowed me to work at a media company producing short documentaries focused on minority topics in South Korea. Additionally, I received the Semans Art Fund to produce a short film featuring an all-women and non-binary cast and crew. Most recently, during my fellowship at Lincoln Center, I developed a multimedia art project, including a short animation, and was awarded the 'What Can We Do?' grant by the Asian American Arts Alliance.
