Jennifer Huang

As a Chinese American child born in Kansas, Jennifer was bullied relentlessly. This led to her commitment to fight injustice, especially for women, children, and people of color. She is making her directorial debut with This Adventure Called California (Winner: Jury Prize for Best Documentary at SF Indie Shorts Film Festival), and is in post production on a feature-length documentary about teen sex trafficking survivors in the Philippines, called The Long Rescue. Previously, Jennifer co-produced From Baghdad to the Bay and Standing on Sacred Ground. She associate produced Jacques Pépin: The Art of Craft, a PBS American Masters broadcast. At Lucasfilm she wrote and produced Harlem’s Hellfighters: Black Soldiers of World War I, and associate-produced nine other films. Additionally, Jennifer has worked as a producer and writer on productions for PBS, Anonymous Content, the Travel Channel, HGTV, and others. She was a fellow in Re-Present Media's Fellowship program, participated in BAVC's Producers Institute and MediaMaker Fellowship, and pitched at Cinematagrafo and Double Exposure. Jennifer graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Social Welfare and Ethnography through Cinema.
