Today I interview Jeffrey Gee Chin – a filmmaker who straddles both the Hollywood and China markets. Jeffrey has been a 2nd Unit Director on Billions (on Showtime) and Snowfall (on FX). He is also creating culturally preserving films like Lil Tokyo Reporter
He talks about how the diversity and #MeToo movements have opened the door for fresh voices in film and TV. Additionally, he talks about the advantage of connecting with a Hong Kong producer vs. a Mainland Chinese producer.
