About
Hi, I'm Grace Sunny Sun. I'm a Chinese-Canadian and American filmmaker drawn to the quiet moments that shape who we become. My work centers on coming-of-age stories, exploring identity, belonging, and the space between where we start and where we're going.
Most recently, I was the Artist-in-Residence at the Harvard University Signet Society of Arts and Letters, where I developed original narrative and documentary work alongside artists across disciplines.
Before focusing fully on filmmaking, I spent a decade working at the intersection of storytelling and culture. As a Creative Director for the Film and Entertainment team at Instagram, and earlier as a Communications Strategist at Google, I led global campaigns for films and series that reached audiences around the world.
During my time at Instagram, I led creative direction on campaigns for projects including Pixar's Soul and Turning Red, Marvel's WandaVision, and Netflix's When They See Us. I was part of the founding team of SEEN, a program dedicated to supporting emerging and underrepresented storytellers.
At the center of everything I do is a desire to expand whose stories are seen and how they are told.
