Her family left Maoist China and settled in Vancouver as part of the first wave of Chinese immigration. In her early school years, Shum was interested in acting and theatre, and decided to pursue these interests despite her parents' disapproval.〔Melnyk, George and Brenda Austin-Smith. "The Gendered Screen: Canadian Women Filmmakers.” Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2010, p. 204.〕 Shum attended the University of British Columbia from 1983–1989, and received a B.A. in theatre as well as a Diploma in Film Production. At the age of 19, Shum decided that she wanted to be a filmmaker after watching a film by Peter Weir titled, ''Gallipoli''. From Gallipoli she discovered that "one, you could make a film that wasn't American-centric as well as find an audience and two, you could marry beautiful visuals with a very intimate story." After receiving her degree, she was briefly part of the director's program at the Canadian Film Centre, in Toronto.〔Melnyk 2010, p. 204〕 Shum is also close friends with fellow filmmaker, Ann Marie Fleming, whom she met in 1989 while they were both students.〔Chang, Elaine.
