Jiawen Wang

Screenwriter / Experimental Filmmaker
Los Angeles,CA

Summary

I'm Jiawen from Wuhan, China. I'm currently attending the MFA screenwriting program at UCLA. My writing focuses on women's desires and family relations of all ages.

The silence in moving images, progressing slowness, and the observation of a phenomenon passing through time compose the core of my writing. I'm obsessed with the "ghost" that has been long lingered in female-driven narratives and I simply want to find it.
