He won the HUMANITAS College Drama Fellowship for his feature screenplay From June to July, which follows a Chinese American community in Atlanta, GA after a near-death boating accident occurs at a potluck gathering.

King participated in the C100 Next Gen Leaders program and the Armed with a Camera fellowship, and his films have screened at LAAPFF, CAAMFest, San Diego Asian Film Festival, NYU Sports Film Festival, and more. He won the Best Short Film award at the Golden Door International Film Festival for Wanda's Grave.
