Vivian Wenli Lin is currently attending the Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York Univeristy. Born and raised in the city of San Francisco, California, Vivian graduted from the infamous Lowell High School in 1997. Crossing the Bay Bridge for her undergraduate experience in 1998, after four years Vivian graduated without honors at the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Asian American Studies. Working after graduation under the tutelage of Asian American filmmaker Loni Ding, the year after college proved to be depressing and sloshed with alcohol in the streets of San Francisco. Eventually motivating enough to apply to graduate school, much to the surprise of her friends she actually got in! Moving thousands of miles to the East Coast in August of 2002, Vivian is currently living in the heart of Brooklyn with her roommate and video conspirator, Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi. Some projects she is currently working on are: a documentary on women in hip hop on the East Coast, Holler! The art of hollering, Hello Kitty is Undead: a video workshop teaching 8 Chinese American high school students to express themselves with video.
