Born to a Russian-Chinese mother and Korean father, Zoer grew up with the best of “multiple worlds” where she was exposed to a mix of extreme culture immersion. Throughout her schooling, her family has travelled and moved extensively which allowed her to befriend ”hapas” around the world and appreciate the essence behind what seem like a single notion – “you can be miserable pretty much anywhere, and be happy anywhere too”. Having been to more than 20 countries, she finds comfort especially in those that haven’t been swept up into global commerce and where people live traditional lifestyles next to nurturing nature. An aspiring documentary filmmaker, she looks up to Zana Briski, who is well known for her documentary feature – Born Into Brothels. Zoer hopes to unearth new stories and shed light on the struggles among third-world nations. With an inexplicable obsession with anything frightening and an uncontrollable love for potatoes, she can be found snacking on the tuberous crop (cooked, of course) while having her eyes glued to the latest horror film – The Haunting in Connecticut being her ultimate favorite.
