• Chloé Zhao is a Chinese-American film director. She is known for her independent films and recently won an Oscar for Best Director for her movie Nomadland. Zhao is the first woman of color (and the second woman ever) to receive this award. In the past few years she has gone from being obscure to one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood. Zhao was born in China and attended school in the UK and US. After seeing how romanticised America was on screen, Zhao initially studied political science at Mount Holyoke College. College ended up steering Zhao away from politics and more towards people’s stories. Zhao decided to go to NYU to pursue filmmaking. Chloé Zhao uses knowledge of policy and passion for learning people’s stories to share underrepresented voices in her movies. She is finally receiving the recognition she deserves. - Written by Delia Clotfelter for the International Students’ Club celebration of AAPI Heritage Month
