Ruoyu Zhang is a young filmmaker from Shanghai, China who considers her life an adventure. She always loves to be trying something new. She used to stand on a stage as the singer of a rock band. And she also stood on the platform of a primary school as a Chinese teacher. But now, by joining Florida State University's Film School, she is standing behind a camera on a movie set. As a cinematographer, she has found that the most comfortable way to express herself is visually.
