J.K. Wang
Director
J.K. Wang (she/they) is a multidisciplinary Artist, dedicating herself to filmmaking, microtonal music, photography, and writing poetry and prose. To them, a key tenet of Art is creating connection through shared experiences. When an Artist is able to express something-an experience that someone else has also had, but has never been able to put into words and never knew anyone else experienced: when that collision occurs, it is like a spiritual connection is formed, between audience and Artist, and in that moment, we no longer feel alone. Wang has lived in Los Angeles since secondary school; before that they moved eight times: living in places such as Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Taiwan. She is a founder of the VWC filmmaking collective.
