Lily Shen

About Lily

I'm an aspiring documentary filmmaker and video editor with a passion for telling—and helping to tell—stories that matter. With hands-on experience in camera work, editing, and documentary storytelling, I bring both technical skill and a deep sense of purpose to every project. My background in ethnographic film grounds my approach in empathy and nuance, while my proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro allows me to manage edits from ingest to final cut with precision. I thrive in collaborative environments, stay calm under pressure, and approach every challenge with patience, kindness, and resilience.
