Eric Lu is a co-founder and executive producer at Jubilee Media, where he shapes documentary-style social experiments designed to facilitate conversations across political and cultural differences. His production work centers on creating inclusive storytelling environments that highlight participants’ lived experiences alongside their policy views.

Role in Jubilee Project

Lu joined Jason Y. Lee and other collaborators in establishing the Jubilee Project in 2010, a volunteer initiative that produced short films supporting humanitarian and civic causes. He oversaw early crowdfunding campaigns, festival screenings, and campus tours that introduced Jubilee’s storytelling approach to college communities and advocacy organizations.

Developing Jubilee Media Formats

As Jubilee evolved into a professional media company, Lu helped design serialized formats like “Middle Ground,” “Spectrum,” and “Odd Man Out.” He focuses on pre-production research, casting, and moderation frameworks that encourage participants to articulate policy reasoning while responding to differing perspectives in real time.

Impact on Dialogue Programming

Lu’s production philosophy centers on accessibility and empathy. He coordinates with educators, nonprofit partners, and civic dialogue groups that integrate Jubilee episodes into workshops on polarization, voting, and social cohesion. By translating those partnerships into on-screen narratives, Lu ensures the company’s content remains grounded in community experiences and practical civic engagement strategies.
