Cinder Chou is a Taiwanese American writer, director, and producer originally from the oft maligned state of New Jersey and currently resides in Brooklyn. An early love for comic books turned into a passion for visual storytelling. Her work explores themes of otherness through a comedic and surreal style.

Cinder’s early career as a production coordinator (The Big Sick, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) gave her the professional know-how to launch her own films. Her work has screened at many festivals in the U.S. and her debut feature Artist Unknown is currently on the festival circuit in 2023.
