Hello! I’m Alexandra Shih-Jen Cheng, a recent film production graduate with 2 years of hands-on experience across pre- and post-production. I thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy coordinating cross-functional teams, and I’m highly adaptable and fast to learn.
I recently led pre-production and photography for Fogell’s Fake ID Prank Video, collaborated on screenwriting and storyboarding for Telephone, and supported gear and sound operations on multiple productions. I’m excited to bring energy, organization, and creative problem-solving to new projects.
