Ejun Mary Hong
I am a storyteller who brings life to my dreams and lost stories of the world with my animations!
I created four animated films that explore personal yet universal themes, offering connection, meaning, and the potential for healing. I received 13 awards and 40 official selections, including three Academy Award and BAFTA Qualifying Film Festivals.
I envision a world where animated storytelling serves as a form of care and where everyone has access to art education.
For the past summers, I worked at Sony Pictures Entertainment (Los Angeles), Walt Disney Family Museum (San Francisco), and All Ages Productions (Philadelphia).
