Jen Nee Lim

Jen spent 15 years producing, writing, and working across film acquisition, marketing, and distribution. As producer/writer, her feature film Truth Be Told (2007) won Best Original Film at the Asian Film Festival of Rome, and she later produced the International Emmy-nominated web series People Like Us (2016, 2019). Eventually, she shifted her focus to directing, beginning with Elsa (2019), a docu-short that earned a Special Mention at SeaShorts 2020, and The Note (2021), which screened at Inside Out Toronto 2022. Her latest short, Buah (Fruit), competed in Busan, Sundance, Clermont-Ferrand (Special Jury Prize and Queer Jury Special Mention), and SXSW. She is now developing Trash, a revisionist western short and her debut feature Unmother. Jen approaches each film as a chance to push boundaries quietly but deliberately, shaping stories on her own terms.
