director biography
Tang Yi was born and raised in Fuzhou, China. Prior to filmmaking, she was an accounting major at college and a singer-songwriter under Universal Hong Kong. She concentrates on stories untold and voices unheard, especially on lives of Asian women. She likes to capture bright moments in a dark struggling life. Starting from a short term cultural exchange program in a monastery in Nepal at college, she travels often between China and Nepal. A lot of her story ideas are inspired by the tales shared from Buddhist nuns. She currently resides in New York as a graduate film student at Tisch School of the Arts.
