Bend It Like Beckham's Jong Lin

Taiwanese-born cinematographer and Tisch School of the Arts alumnus Jong Lin was on campus 31 March -  4 April 2009 to conduct cinematography master classes for second year graduate film students at Tisch School of the Arts Asia. Best known for his work on many of Tisch School of the Arts alumnus and director Ang Lee’s early films, Jong has also worked with many of China’s most prominent directors as well as Gurinder Chadha on Bend It Like Beckham.  

Jong generously shared his wealth of knowledge on cinematography with second year graduate film students.  Bend It Like Beckham was screened on campus, and Jong participated in a question and answer session following the screening.

“I think that Jong Lin has a thorough knowledge of the subject matter, I definitely picked up a lot from his master class,” said Putnam Trumbull, a second year film student.

Stephanie Bousley, also a second year film student, said Jong offered the students practical solutions in cinematography.
