My name is Siqi, I am an Oscar-nominated director, lifelong storyteller, part-time doll player.
Filmmaking feels a lot ike cooking to me. Story is the key ingredient—raw, honest, and best when it feels real. Visuals are the seasoning, where I invent the flavors. Editing is all about timing. Emotion is the secret spice that gives audience its kick.
Whether I'm cooking up stop-motion, animation, or live action, I chase stories that make people laugh, cry, or call their mom on the drive home. I find magic in ordinary moments, blend humor with heartbreak, and trust that the smallest details can carry the biggest feelings.
I tell stories. I trust my gut. I make audiences hungry—for dumplings, for home, or for a really good cry.
