About

Grace Chen is a Taiwanese-American filmmaker, artist, theatre director and actor, and writer currently based in Washington, D.C. As a Frederick Douglass Distinguished Scholar at American University, she is looking to continue pursuing her passions in the arts—particularly in filmmaking as a film and media arts major—in her college studies.

Some of her favorite things besides the arts include dark chocolate, good coffee and tea (green and jasmine are her go-to picks), thrifting, and spending time with friends.

She hopes that by highlighting marginalized stories through her work, she can bring even the tiniest bit of much-needed hope, awareness, and empathy into this dark yet beautiful world.
