About

Jaehee Cheong is a filmmaker, animator, and photographer based in Brooklyn, NY, currently video editing for Korean American Story.

Like a life-long glasses wearer revealing their face, her work often evokes feelings of intimacy and vulnerability. She finds inspiration for the stories she tells through practices like transcribing passages of her favorite books, storing her emotions in writing, and capturing her travels on camera.
