I'm Gigi Hsin, an Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning Film Editor and Producer with a distinguished track record in high-stakes documentary, international broadcast, and high-end corporate storytelling. I craft complex, socially relevant narratives for premier platforms such as BBC Storyville, PBS, Al Jazeera, NHK, and DR, and for market-leading firms like JP Morgan, FTI Consulting, and the Urban Land Institute. I am bilingual (English, Mandarin, Cantonese) with deep expertise in transcreation and subtitle direction, bridging Eastern and Western perspectives for global audiences. My career spans the full lifecycle of storytelling—from pioneering the first Chinese-language satellite broadcasts in Europe to managing on-location productions in Mainland China and delivering award-winning post-production. Recently, I’ve pivoted toward the corporate and digital sectors, producing sophisticated social content and brand films that blend documentary authenticity with data-driven audience engagement. I’m TQUK-certified in Digital Marketing and specialize in re-versioning high-value assets into high-impact social media campaigns. I’ve collaborated with international NGOs and global media leaders like Nick Fraser, delivering content that excels at prestigious festivals (TIFF, IDFA, AFI Docs) and at a global commercial scale.
