Freda Hu

Freda Hu is a first-generation Chinese-American actor based in Los Angeles, California. She is known for her portrayal of quirky and innocent characters in independent films and has trained under acting coach Jo Kelly since 2020. She has taken classes through the New York Film Academy, The Groundlings School, and Vagabond School of the Arts. Though it wasn't always her plan to be an actor, as a child, she wanted to act and write more than anything else. Dismissed as childhood fantasy, she didn't pursue either, at least not openly. Although she would learn in time that "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was a trick question, she found refuge in storytelling and creating her own imagined experiences. After graduating with a B.A. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago in 2019, Freda was fully intent on continuing with grad school. But then the pandemic hit, and along with it, an opportunity to reevaluate her life. Quarantined in her 200 sq. ft. apartment, she finally gathered the courage to leave her old life behind and reconnected with the simplicity and joy of creativity she had loved as a child. She has proudly called herself an actor ever since.
