I first took note of Zoe’s directing work via the Kids of Immigrants Fall 2022 campaign. As a child of immigrants myself, I connected deeply with the theme of that campaign titled: “We are our parent's wildest dreams.” What struck me more was how the campaign was creatively promoted and directed, which included Zoe and her father’s story. It inspired me so much, it led to having today’s conversation with her. We talk about her childhood, her love of filmmaking, her perceptions of the industry and so much more in the podcast.
