]Sean Niu was born in Southern California. His previous lives in investment management and consumer technology took him to live in London, Boston, San Francisco, and Tokyo. He has now returned to Los Angeles where he hosts and produces podcasts, shoots film photography, and writes for non-profit education and films. He currently hosts The Electric Image Express, a podcast that explores Asian American identity through film.
Sean marries his love for adventure with a nostalgic longing for the past in his photography and writing. He believes in creating from his heart— he enjoys starting from a personal experience and mixing an element of mystery or ambiguity to ask his audience to question reality. His past lives have helped him develop a strong sense of empathy for people from different cultures and disciplines, and he hopes to use this empathy to create stories that speak uniquely to underrepresented people but also have universal appeal.
