Hi there!



I am a Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker, producer, and editor specialized in socially conscious, human-centered storytelling. The daughter of Vietnamese refugees, I am drawn to stories that explore identity, justice, health, and hope. I approach every project with curiosity, care, and collaboration—listening for story and leading with empathy.

With over a decade of experience across documentary film, branded content, and social impact communications, I collaborate with nonprofits, advocacy groups, and Fortune 500 companies to bring meaningful stories to life. My recent films spotlight AAPI stories, including A Slice of Home, a documentary short film currently on the film festival circuit about a baker, and Miles to Go Before She Sleeps, an award-winning feature documentary about China’s dog meat trade.

I hold a Master of Public Health with a graduate certificate in documentary filmmaking from George Washington University and graduated cum laude from UC Berkeley. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me traveling, flying my drone, or cuddling my dog, Sonny.

  • Collaborating with Pauline on a video overview for Cayaba Care's program was truly a fantastic experience. Pauline's valuable insights and suggestions added immense value throughout the process, showcasing her passion for her work. Her dedication to the project was palpable, and I was consistently impressed by her expertise and professionalism. I 100% recommend Pauline for any video content needs.

  • Pauline is one of the finest producers I've ever collaborated with, blending a keen understanding of production with an innate creative sensibility and a trained cinematic eye. I can also vouch for her as a travel partner -- our work together took us to some less than glamorous shoots, and Pauline was unfailingly focused, full of cheer, up for the challenge, and ready to work regardless of the circumstances. Truly an exceptional talent and the kind of person you want with you on the road and in the studio.

  • Pauline has an infectious passion for stories that matter and translates this passion into compelling video narratives that engage and enrich their audiences. She has a unique talent for video copywriting, and really understands how to marry the technical aspects of video creation with the creative aspects. She also has an incredible eye for visuals and is extremely capable when it comes to all post-production needs, including but not limited to video editing, sound mixing, and animation. It’s rare to find a producer as talented as Pauline, but even rarer to find one who cares so much about their work and the stories they tell. She is a true powerhouse that every team would be lucky to have.

  • Pauline is an incredible videographer with an eye for detail and human-centered storytelling. She filmed my nonprofit’s Wellness Summit, and throughout the process, she captured the most important elements of the programming and accurately portrayed the vision we had for the event. She’s a great partner on storytelling and helped ideate the concept of the video from start to finish, including scripting, shot placement, and editing. On the day of the event, the process for filming was so seamless and her advanced planning helped us reach the best possible outcome for the video.

  • I was impressed with Pauline's professionalism, her passion for the work and the end product was some of the best work I've seen. I highly recommend hiring Pauline to create video content for you - not only will she create a product that will meet or exceed your expectations, but she will also share thoughtful suggestions, manage countless logistics flawlessly and have fun doing it, too.

  • Pauline is one of those rare people who has an amazing knack for project management details, and also has an incredible creative eye. She played a major role in the creative direction for our film content, and also managed planning and production elements from soup to nuts -- which resulted in a really beautiful video campaign that resonated with both our clients and the patient community. Pauline is absolutely wonderful to work with!

    Rachel Forsyth

  • Not only did Pauline make every single patient (and colleague) comfortable before and during the filming, she also has an amazing sense of identifying creative dialogue and impactful shots to take in real-time. In post-production, Pauline was very efficient and also offered great recommendations for clips and more. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I would enjoy working with her again in the future!
