About me - current project:

‭ I’m Jeff Fong, a 38-year-old Hapa (half Asian, half white) from Sacramento, California. When I was 16, I found myself in an empty movie theater, feeling‬ intensely awkward, yet inspired. It was there that I realized writing and‬ directing films would be my way of expressing the multitude of ideas swirling‬ in my anxious mind. Now, 22 years later, I’m still on the journey to break into‬ the industry, seeking mentors and opportunities to pursue my dream of‬ storytelling—whether through streaming shows or films.‬ ‭ Over the years, I’ve written several feature scripts, created numerous short‬ films, produced a web series, and completed a feature film. I’ve also created a‬ project called, The 52 Saga, where I make a short film every week for a year‬ (I’m on week 15). I also run a production company called, The Film Squad. In‬ addition to what I’ve created, I am proud to be an NCAA national tennis‬ champion and have received numerous awards for my films.‬ ‭ My passion lies in crafting stories that bring better representation to my Asian‬ heritage and to other marginalized communities. If I can make a living by‬ creating stories that achieve this goal, I will be content with the path I've‬ chosen in life.‬
