Natalie A. Chao is a filmmaker and cinematographer who completed her B.A degree in Film Production at USC in Los Angeles. Born, raised and currently based in Hong Kong, she is interested in bridging the gap between realism and poetry in order to tell stories through a more engaged and intentional gaze, one that can map out our memories, not draw lines between camera and subject, identity and politics. Natalie is a 2020 Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellow. Her documentary short, To Know Her, premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
