My Artistic Vision
"I believe that stories have the power to connect hearts. Through filmmaking and community projects, I aim to give voice to people who are often overlooked — children who learn differently, those who have experienced bullying, and students in remote areas who dream of going to school. Each project reminds me that empathy is not just about feeling for others, but about listening and helping people see the world through different eyes. I hope to continue creating films that foster compassion and awareness — one story at a time." —Cassie Jiaxin Wang
