filmmaker, sound person, food fanatic
Hello stranger!I'm Alicia Qian [uh-lee-sha chan] (she/her), an aspiring sound designer/filmmaker from the Bay Area and now based in New York City where I am currently getting my BFA in Film & TV at NYU Tisch in the land of pigeons, rats and everything in between.I'm all about telling stories about Asian-Americans, featuring Asian-Americans, for Asian Americans.
I will spend as much time as humanely possible cafe hopping with a good book in my arms or podcast in my ears.Feel free to contact me for inquiries! (or just say hi)
