I’m Winnie Cheung 張詠衡 a Hong Kong-born, New York-based multidisciplinary storyteller. My animated short Albatross Soup premiered at Sundance Hong Kong and went on to tour festivals internationally, winning the Vimeo Animation of the Year and Short of the Week ‘Short of the Year’ award. My debut feature Residency premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2023 and is currently screening in select theaters.

I have over a decade of experience in commercial creative direction in broadcast, and social media, distinguished by industry awards (Cannes Lions, Ciclope) and editorial sites (NYTimes Op Docs, Nowness, i-D Magazine). Recent clients include Google, Nike, Samsung, Victoria’s Secret, Fitbit, Starbucks, H&M, Adidas, Target, and Coca-Cola.

I’m eternally a student, a facilitator, an organizer and a collaborator.
