MFA Screenwriting Student
Professional Links & Recent Works
A native of Southern California, Jimmy earned a BFA in Film - Editing from Art Center College of Design (2013). He moved to New York City and cut his teeth in corporate production at the online education company Skillshare. He rose to the position of Head of Film before leaving in 2019 — just after he and his team were awarded the 2019 Webby Award for How-to, Explainer & DIY Videos.
He returned to Southern California at the tail end of the pandemic and worked as a Senior Producer for Hayden5, before going back to his roots as a video editor working for GQ. His most recent editing work has been with Vanity Fair and Stardust Frames.
Having always aspired to be a screenwriter, and with the '23 WGA strike and consequent lull in production work, he made the decision to obtain his MFA in Screenwriting.
Jimmy's work is informed by his experience as an Asian-American, and he hopes to tell the stories of those who have been othered.
