"I’ve collaborated with Xueni on my feature film screenplay. Upon first reading, she came up with astute and intelligent observations on the structural and narrative flaws of the presented draft. Her notes precisely identified the underlying issues, often found in story beats I had previously incorrectly considered fine-tuned. I appreciated her insight into East Asian cultural specifics, which were essential to the story. But most importantly, I could see that she genuinely improved upon the narrative by understanding its essence and working within boundaries set by the story’s core themes, which is something each writer values––to be understood while also being offered a helping hand."
