ZIYU GAO

Based in New York City. I am a versatile woman in many aspects.

I am a filmmaker, actress, and advocate.

I am constantly looking for ways to connect with my community, especially through my nonprofit, Enrich Arts, where I extend my talents to those who might otherwise lack access to such resources. I hope to embody creativity, collaboration, and community impact.

​

I have a strong passion for filmmaking and experience as an accomplished actress on both the screen and stage. My enthusiasm for collaboration is palpable as I thrive on working with others to bring stories to life. Also, being a director, I have created multiple captivating short films, each a testament to my creative vision and dedication.

 

Equally in front of the camera, I have graced the silver screen in two distinct films in which I won the Roger Reese Award for excellence in acting. I also have portrayed a wide range of characters in numerous theater productions.
