"I am a struggling actor". Dorjee Tsering


I am Dorjee, an aspiring actor facing my share of challenges.

My mother, resilient as she is, had a tough journey raising me. In our early years, before I was six, we relied more on acting than proper sign language since our society wasn't familiar with sign language then. Somehow, that's how I developed a knack for acting.

In 1996, at the age of six, I had to leave my mother and family behind, seeking exile. It was a difficult decision, but it was necessary to access education and basic rights amidst the Chinese occupation.

Since then, I've grown more emotionally attuned. My time at TCV School holds some of my happiest memories, especially during high school. Acting became my passion during those years, receiving recognition that solidified my belief in pursuing it as a career.

My ultimate aspiration is to share Tibet's stories with the world. I know it's an audacious dream, but I refuse to abandon it.

I've been part of "PAWO," a feature film well-received at numerous film festivals, earning me two nominations for the best actor category. Additionally, I've taken roles in several impactful short films. I've also ventured into filmmaking, with my short film "Last Note" securing the 'Best Short Film' award at the Tibet Film Festival in 2017.

Our community is in its nascent stages in films and media. I firmly believe that fostering more communication and support within our community is crucial in this initial phase.

Surviving as an artist is a daunting feat. At present, I sustain myself by working in a friend's café, hence why I refer to myself as a struggling actor.

I strongly believe that our artistic work should reflect the contemporary times we live in.
