I'm a producer, based in Los Angeles. I produced in China and in France, came to Los Angeles for the USC Peter Stark Producing Program, and went from there to Sony Pictures Television, in the Office of the President, and then to business affairs at Sony Pictures Animation — including on KPop Demon Hunters, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature this year.

Business affairs is the unglamorous half of the business: the deals, the rights, the paperwork that decides who owns what. It's a useful thing to have done before asking a writer to trust you with their book.

I think film and television are supposed to entertain people, and that this isn't a lesser ambition than any other. Hollywood has drifted from it over the past few years. When I found micro dramas, I saw a way back to making the kind of thing I'd been missing.

The AI production is a means, not the ceiling. As Galaxie can afford it, I want a balance, micro dramas made this way alongside ones made with crews. I know a lot of talented people here who haven't worked much lately, and if this grows into something that can put them back on set, that's the point of doing it.
