BIO
JEREMY HSING is a humanistic sci-fi writer, mental health advocate, and 2nd-gen Taiwanese immigrant based in LA. Born on Leap Day because his mom couldn’t hold in his big head, Jeremy combines his therapist background (BA in Psychology and double minor in art history and film from UCLA) and big head to construct elaborate worlds in which his characters go on a journey of internal reckoning in the pursuit of an emotional catharsis.
Jeremy’s AAPI sci-fi thriller feature script LITTLE CARP AT DRAGON’S GATE won the 2025 Asian American International Film Festival Screenplay Contest and was a finalist for both the Sundance Cultural Impact Residency and the Anarchists United Feature Film Incubator Grant created by Lilly Wachowski. Jeremy’s Webby and Telly winning PBS American Masters sci-fi documentary JUDY-LYNN DEL REY: THE GALAXY GAL premiered at the Kennedy Center and has since garnered over 220,000 views on Youtube.

In his free time, you can catch Jeremy cheering on the Lakers or dissecting Kendrick Lamar’s legendary discography. And if you’re wondering, yes Jeremy does celebrate his birthday every year and yes technically he is only 6 years old.
