HI THERE!
I’m Zhei Xie (pronounced “Jay See-ah”), an editor, filmmaker, and storyteller.
I’m a Canadian-born Chinese filmmaker based in the United States today.
I use film as a means of exploring things I don’t understand — what does it mean to be Chinese-born in an North American context? What does it mean to love?
The art of editing also allows me to lend a voice to the director's vision, breathing life into each frame and ensuring that the story unfolds with precision and emotion.
It is a delicate balance of respecting the original intent while infusing the film with a distinct rhythm and flow that elevates the storytelling.
Seeing the culmination of countless hours of dedication manifest into a final cut is immensely gratifying.
