Bio


Yvonne Zhang is a writer-director whose stories are rooted in early memories of her mother’s nightly visions of death. She draws on traditions of magical realism, weaving dream logic into modern lives mediated through screens and virtual worlds.

Her short CARRION (2022) screened at festivals worldwide including SFFILM, PÖFF Shorts and Tampere Film Festival, where it was awarded Best Genre Film. Her second film SWEETWATER AQUARIUM (2024) played at Vienna Shorts, LSFF and the Norwegian Short Film Festival, where it was awarded the Golden Chair for Best International Short.

Yvonne holds an MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute where she received fellowships from BAFTA, Fulbright, AFI, AAUW and P.E.O. International. She is a BAFTA Connect member and is developing her first feature through the 2025 TorinoFilmLab ScriptLab. 

Yvonne is current Filmmaker-in-Residence at Somerset House, London.
