Graceland
Directed by Rob Petit Edited by Hoping Chen
A phone call in the middle of the night reunites Ray with his missing daughter, Emily. What has she been doing for a year? Why did she leave? And who is Beckett, the man who brought a dozen missing children together and then vanished? These are questions that will lead Ray to discover unsettling truths about what his daughter has become, and how far he must go to get her back.

IDFA 2011 JURY REPORT
"The filmmaker is on a path of redemption after betraying her family, friends and beliefs. The personal soul-searching story offers a relevant and powerful glimpse of a politically divided Norway. Although the film maybe lacked the technical polish of some of the others, it approaches its subject with a raw energy, and we applaud the filmmaker for her extraordinary courage in taking us with her on a journey for forgiveness. We congratulate this brave director on a powerful, touching and truly captivating film. "

To tell great stories is what I do. I've worked in many different roles in creative/production fields.
As an editor, I have strong ability to shape a story by responding to the raw materials. I'm capable of listening to and understanding the filmmaker's vision.
I write essays/novels and take photographs as my hobby. No matter what role I take, it has been a life pursuing the depth and craft of story telling.
