Jingjue Zhou was recently featured on the AACYF California Chinese 30 under 30, a prestigious honor for the in-demand sound editor. It is a dream come true for Zhou, who knew she was somehow going to be an artist since she was only a child. “I hated the idea of being trapped in a cubicle office but didn’t really know what I should do until one day, I read a biographical book about director Ang Lee. His experience opened the filmmaking world to me. I went to watch every movie he’s ever made and dug into the creating process behind the scenes. I think filmmaking is more than just a regular job but rather a lifestyle that can keep me observant and creative. Great filmmaking artists are generally genuine and open-minded. I wanted to be part of it,” she says. Sound editing is a subtle art form, often under-appreciated by movie goers.

We have conducted an interview with Ane about her art. As part of your oil paintings collection 'The Diver Collection', how unique is your process, your style and the choice of the medium on creating the movement, pose, colors of the body, sky, and water?

That's partly the appeal to me, and so is it's buttery consistency and texture. I like that oil painting has such a long history in the story of humanity and that it moves much slower than the rest of th...
