Yinuo, born and raised in China, moved to the U.S. to pursue her MFA in Writing and Directing at Columbia University. Her feature film scripts include 'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' (Official Selection 2021 Cannes Film Festival), a neo-noir thriller set against the backdrop of the 1990s Chinese economic reform. It explores the entangled relationship between a hit-and-run driver, the victim's widow, and an obsessed detective. Besides Cannes, it was an Official Selection at the Toronto International Film Festival, and won an audience award at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
