Joshua Sun

Josh Sun is currently a student at the University of Colorado Boulder and a 2018 Boettcher Scholar. His parents emigrated from China to Colorado, which allowed them to have a second child (due to China’s one-child policy). Josh was raised navigating two cultures, often observing the differences and dissonances between the two. In his film LOVE ME, Josh candidly questions the ways in which he was raised, including intense pressures to succeed. In doing so, he poses questions about how young people can find self-love and true passions while negotiating societal expectations.
