Jackie! Zhou is non-binary and ageless. They are a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist, director, and sound designer who is keen on blurring the lines between formats and disciplines. They love to celebrate and examine the absurdity of the human experience and the surprising specific details that can connect us. Their recent work includes the narrative short "Order for Pickup," the music video for Chappell Roan's "HOT TO GO!", and developing their first feature, "Rumspringa" as a 2024 TAAF | Sundance Collab scholar. Their newest short “Good Boy Banjo” will be premiering at Baltimore New/Next 2024. They dream of being able to make 50 projects in 50 states (yes they are a Sufjan Stevens fan). They identify as a maximalist and their work is playful and tender. Regardless of format, they strive to champion humans both on and off camera - the making of art is always sweeter shared. Above all, they believe good listeners make great storytellers.
