Bio
Josephine Green-Yang is a writer/director who works both in short form sketch comedy and dramatic films. She wrote, directed, and produced In Case of an Emergency, a short surrealist narrative that tells the story of CoCo Lee, a paranoid hypochondriac who is prepared for the end of the world, but not for the end of her engagement. The film won 2007 Best Undergraduate Film at UCLA.
Green-Yang is currently writing, directing, and producing Bitch Got Jokes, a sketch comedy website that satirizes men and women in relationships. She is also in post-production on Musicians of the Streets of Santiago: A Tribute to Violeta Parra, a short documentary following an organized union of folkloric street musicians in Santiago, Chile, and their struggle from playing on public buses to organizing a private holiday concert in tribute to the famous folklorist Violeta Parra. Additionally, she is polishing her first feature screenplay The Naked Truth, a comedy about a politician’s wife who finally discovers who she is without her husband after leaving the public sphere for a new life in a nudist community.
Green-Yang is a freelance editor and videographer. She works and volunteers part-time teaching children how to read, ‘rite, and ‘rithmetic…but properly.
