Jeremy Hsing is a humanistic sci-fi writer, mental health advocate, and 2nd-gen Taiwanese immigrant based in LA. Born on Leap Day because his mom couldn’t hold in his big head, Jeremy combines his therapist background (BA in Psychology and double minor in art history and film from UCLA) and big head to construct elaborate worlds in which his characters go on a journey of internal reckoning in the pursuit of an emotional catharsis.
Jeremy recently served as the Sundance Episodic Lab Seasonal Coordinator and was mentored by Lee Isaac Chung through the Academy Gold Rising Mentorship Program.
Jeremy’s magical realism short film FISH premiered at NFMLA InFocus: Asian Cinema, the Boston Asian American Film Festival, and the Asian American International Film Festival and won the Youth Grand Jury Prize at the Astoria Film Festival. Jeremy’s PBS American Masters sci-fi documentary JUDY-LYNN DEL REY: THE GALAXY GAL premiered at the Kennedy Center and has since racked up over 220,000 views on Youtube. Jeremy’s Afro-Surrealist short film FORWARD THINKING will be making its world premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival in 2025.
In his free time, you can catch Jeremy watching a Lakers game or listening to Kendrick Lamar. And if you’re wondering, yes Jeremy does celebrate his birthday every year and yes technically he is only 6 years old.
