Juefang Zhang

I am Juefang (Jennifer) Zhang, an Emmy-nominated producer and a Third-Culture film director based in Los Angeles. My journey began as an Assistant Director for the legendary Jackie Chan, and since then, I have dedicated my career to creating compelling narratives that highlight female-centric Asian stories and international co-productions. My work includes producing the Emmy-nominated documentary 'Wuhan Wuhan' and the upcoming feature 'Where The Mountain Women Sing,' which recently won the best pitch award at the Frontières Co-Production Market at Fantasia.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with top-tier talents and established significant partnerships with leading Asian production studios. As the Head of Film & TV at When Pigs Fly Studios, I am currently developing a dynamic slate of international projects, including thrillers and sci-fi films. My passion lies in empowering BIPOC filmmakers and promoting diverse voices in the film industry, as evidenced by my role in launching the Sundance Institute | Stars Collective Granting Fund. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of storytelling and creating impactful cinema that resonates with audiences worldwide.
