About Us

Jason Chao

Jason found his storytelling passion in high school where he wrote, directed, and performed in full-stage plays. After attending USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, he found it hard to find his place in the industry. He spent ten years as a youth pastor, discovering his unique voice and further developing his storytelling talents. Since going back into filmmaking, he has written and directed multiple shorts and an audiodrama. During Covid-19, Jason wrote, directed and edited a full-length feature film Mirror Mirror, which won Best Director at the Las Vegas Asian Film Festival and Best Editor at the Culver City Film Festival. He also produced the feature film, Dawning. For fun, Jason writes choose-your-own-adventure stories on Instragram and ridiculously long and detailed reviews on Letterboxd. 

Hannah Chao

Hannah majored in journalism at USC’s Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism. She was a copy editor at the Daily Trojan and a producer at Annenberg Radio News. She is the editor of the SOLA Network, a Christian Asian American online publication and network, growing its pageviews into the 100,000s. Hannah is also a copywriter at Carnegie, a higher education marketing company that specializes in modernizing college websites and materials for the new generation. During the pandemic, she began to use her writing and editing skills to improve Jason's screenplays, eventually becoming a co-writer on all of their projects. Hannah's also an avid novel reader and news junkie. She also runs a Taylor Swift lyric analysis twitter account that has more than 30,000 followers.
