Jessica Lingmin Yu is an American film director, writer, producer, and editor. She has directed documentary films, dramatic films, and television shows. Yu won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject in 1996 for "Breathing Lessons: The Life and Work of Mark O'Brien". Yu's film "Last Call at the Oasis" is based on Alex Prud'homme's Ripple Effect. In 2019, Yu was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Direction for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special for the "Fosse/Verdon" episode 'Glory'.
The opportunity to make film is a random occurrence for Yu. She graduated from Yale University summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with a bachelor's degree in English. Her documentary films present worldwide issues that people face every day, and allow the subjects to speak for themselves as much as possible. She is adamant that story should come before politics. Her films intend to inform the general public to incite people to become active in everyday issues such as water conservation and regulation. When not making documentaries and feature films, Yu spends time directing television shows.
