About the filmmaker:
After growing up in China and England, Academy Award-winner Chloé Zhao received her BA in political science from Mount Holyoke College and her MFA in film production from NYU. An empathetic storyteller, Zhao has always been deeply drawn to the experience of the outsider, and she often explores authentic stories through untrained actors from these marginalized communities. Before her historic wins for her third feature film, Nomadland (2020), Zhao developed her distinct style crafting short films, followed by her critically acclaimed features Songs My Brothers Taught Me (2015) and The Rider (2017).
