Christina Xing on being your kick-ass director (Bonus)
Manage episode 348015778 series 3250820
This is one of those bonus episodes that’s a perfect example of how nuanced we are as human beings. Christina Xing is an Asian-American director who’s honestly one of the funniest, most thoughtful, and incredibly talented individuals I’ve ever met. She’s been making a fierce name for herself by directing a constant stream of amazing music videos (for artists such as PS5, Courtney Barnett, K Flay, Frances Forever, etc). Christina’s work stands out due to how she’s capable of straddling that fine line between surrealism and presenting moments that hit close to home on a deeply personal level. Together we explore the experiences that inspired Christina to pursue directing, along with how crucial it is to have a personal stake in your art.
