Victor Chen

Hey, I’m Victor, a bilingual multimedia journalist and filmmaker at NYU studying Journalism and Performance Studies.

I enjoy acting on stage and experiencing the life of other characters, whether it’s the King of Naples in a Shakespeare play or a sneaky fortune teller in China in the 20th century. I enjoy taking pictures of magnificent landscapes and distinguishing cultures, for there’s so much potential in the limited frames. My interests in acting and photography introduced me to multimedia storytelling, which is what I have been doing, and what I would love to pursue as a career in the future.

Title of Capstone Project

Storytelling with Chinese Characteristics

Description of Capstone Project

My artistic statement will examine the political and aesthetic concerns involved in my documentary film "Racism in China" and explain my identification and disidentification as a journalist and filmmaker.
