Born on Leap Day because his Taiwanese immigrant mom couldn't hold in his big head, Jeremy Hsing views the ancient myth of Sisyphus perpetually pushing a boulder up a hill not as a curse, but as a blessing. He uses his big head and B.A. in Psychology from UCLA to write genre-bending thrillers where haunted truth-seekers fight against seemingly insurmountable odds to reclaim their stolen agency and wrench catharsis from chaos. His stories crackle with psychic tension and mythic fury guided by one unshakable belief: there is no such thing as a villain, only a broken human being desperate to feel seen.
Jeremy’s AAPI sci-fi thriller feature script LITTLE CARP AT DRAGON’S GATE, which follows a PR specialist who discovers a tech mogul's invention that could redefine what it means to be human, won the 2025 Asian American International Film Festival Screenplay Contest along with the 2025 Signpost Fellowship (mentored by TV writer/playwright Chisa Hutchinson; in partnership with The Dramatists Guild) and was a finalist for both the 2025 Sundance Cultural Impact Residency and the 2025 Anarchists United Feature Film Incubator Grant created by Lilly Wachowski. Jeremy’s basketball short BIG BALLER BOY, about a young boy trying out for his school’s basketball team who wants nothing more in the world than to make his dad proud, won both the 2025 TDE Short Films Fund and the 2025 Tyler Perry Studios Dream Collective. Jeremy's sci-fi cosmic horror pilot THE INSTITUTE OF FELLOW FEELING, which takes place in a world where corporations use VR to commodify empathy, won the 2025 Roadmap Writers Diversity Fellowship and was selected for the Justice 4 My Sister BIPOC Sci-Fi Screenwriting Lab.
Jeremy’s PBS American Masters sci-fi documentary JUDY-LYNN DEL REY: THE GALAXY GAL, which tells the story of a woman with dwarfism who revolutionized sci-fi publishing by founding Del Rey Books, won a Webby and Telly Award, premiered at the Kennedy Center, and has since garnered over 220,000 views on Youtube. Jeremy's magical realism FISH, which follows a guilt-ridden son who navigates the aftermath of his mom being reincarnated as his pet goldfish, 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 previously served as the Sundance Episodic Lab Seasonal Coordinator. He was mentored by Lee Isaac Chung through the Academy Gold Rising Mentorship Program and Lee Eisenberg through the Group Effort Initiative Mentorship Program. He also was previously part of the Get Lit Creative Career Lab, Disability Belongs TV Writing Intensive, and 1in4 Writers Mentorship Program. He is currently part of the Gold House Futures Network.
In his free time, you can catch Jeremy cheering on the Lakers or dissecting Kendrick Lamar’s legendary discography. And if you’re wondering, yes Jeremy does celebrate his birthday every year and yes technically he is only 6 years old.
Jeremy is repped by Nicholas Bogner from Affirmative Entertainment and is based in Los Angeles.
