Katusha Jin grew up in a trilingual and multicultural environment, which cultivated her interest in sharing and hearing about the experiences of people from diverse backgrounds.
She is a graduate from NYU Tisch, and is a co-founder of Art Avenue Productions. After graduating Tisch, she received SCMP’s journalism scholarship and studied under the mentorship of an Oscar award-winning filmmaker in Hong Kong. During this period, Katusha interviewed many subjects and developed a deeper understanding of the societal issues the city and its people face. As a result, she was inspired to write a feature script reflecting what she had witnessed.
She has worked on narrative and documentary film projects and led branded content productions at advertising agencies. Although primarily known for her film work, she has worked in theater and is a published film critic as well.
In her spare time, Katusha participates in art exhibitions, produces music, and researches the effects of cultural identity, parenting, and education on mental health. She also has a deep appreciation for good comedy.
