Jade Li is an award-winning German-Chinese writer and director based in the UK. Her NFTS graduation film Tremolo was sponsored by Kodak and won Best Drama, Best Writer, and Best Editor at the 2023 Student Royal Television Awards.
Jade began her career at the Beijing Film Academy, where she co-directed two feature documentaries on Ai Weiwei and Tibet for sinocom.tv. While completing her BA in Directing at the International Film School Cologne, her sci-fi comedy Royal Affairs, starring Kris Marshall, was selected as a flagship project for VFX and production design funding. The film was broadcast nationally and won the Audience Award at the Beijing Student Film Festival, leading to WDR commissioning her next short, Red, Red, Red, a provocative exploration of femininity.
Jade’s films have screened at Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying festivals including HollyShorts, Underwire, and Female Eye Toronto. She is currently developing her debut feature as writer/director, a spiritual martial arts film, with BBC Film.
