After a "voice of God" moment in 2012, Vee Hua set about making their first film—a process that has taken years.

Vee Hua 華婷婷 (they/them) is a writer, filmmaker, and organizer. They're currently the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, a Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission, and until recently, the Interim Managing Editor of the South Seattle Emerald. Prior to that, they were the Executive Director of the interdisciplinary community hub, Northwest Film Forum, where they played a role in making the space more welcoming and accessible for diverse audiences.

Their latest short film, Reckless Spirits (2022), is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy; the feature film version is slated for production in 2025. Vee is also in post-production on a short documentary film about Hunt's Trading Post in Southern Utah, just outside of the Navajo and Ute Nations.

c89.5's Podcast Club Advisor Gavin Reub joined Vee to explore the experience of filmmaking in a town like Seattle, the connection between cultural spaces and community mental health, and how their status as a second generation American has impacted their approach to art making, politics, and expression.
