DIRECTOR OF ZOTFILM
I am a 2nd-year FMS major. My ultimate goal for this year is to strengthen the film community at UCI. I truly believe FADA is a club where you can not only make new friends but also gain valuable experience as a filmmaker. I will work my hardest to ensure anyone who decides to join Zotfilm this year has a valuable and enjoyable experience. We got y'all this year, trust.

I'm a second-year Film and Media Studies major. I love baking, thrifting, collecting (sometimes absurd) trinkets, gaming, and watching/discussing films with people. I'm so excited to meet you all—don't hesitate to come say hi to me! :)

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
My name is Nancy, and I will be FADA's Director of Marketing for this year. In my free time, I like to do Pilates, go café hopping, and make myself way too much matcha :P I'm so excited to work with the new FADA board and create some memorable experiences for all incoming FADA members!

TECHNICAL
DIRECTOR​
I'm a second-year Film and Media Studies major. I'm excited to connect with other UCI students interested in film as Technical Director at FADA this year. A fun fact about me is that I've directed a short film before, and I'm always looking for new ways to explore creative ideas, whether on or off-screen. I'm looking forward to using my role to help you achieve your filmmaking goals!
