Elenie Chung (钟凯琹) is a filmmaker from Trinidad and Tobago. She grew up with a pet turtle, outside Trinidad’s capital, with a bedroom view of the Caribbean Sea squeezed between two terraced houses. Her films use relationships (female friendships, familial ties and complicated hetero-romances) to convey ideas about home, ancestral amnesia, and the Chinese diasporic experience in a globalised world.
She is currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Her current bedroom view is of a driveway.
