Cultural Producer · Artist · Filmmaker
I create films, visual art, and public-history projects that uncover overlooked Chinese American stories through archival research, oral history, and family memory.

My practice also extends into public programming through the Asian American Art & Culture Initiative (AAACI), which I founded to develop research-based exhibitions, films, and community programs.

CURRENT FILM
Under Her Name
Documentary · In Production
In 1916, Chinese immigrant Joe Lung purchased his first home in Austin, Texas—an extraordinary achievement during the Chinese Exclusion era. More than a century later, filmmaker June Xu follows the paper trail and discovers that the deed tells a different story: the property was purchased and held in the name of someone else. We follow June’s investigation journal to solve this puzzle.
