Origin Story

Whether I’m developing a political drama, a rom-com, or a fantasy adventure script, I write stories about witty underdogs who rise to buck the systems that they’ve been raised in. Screenwriting gives me the chance to explore new worlds and subvert expectations by offering a perspective that Hollywood doesn't typically see. My journey to screenwriting started when I created #StarringJohnCho, a viral movement that used Photoshop to reimagine hit movie posters with actor John Cho in the lead role. The project sparked a global discussion about Asian representation in media and pushed me to start telling my own stories from my community. Now, I’m a repped screenwriter whose work has been recognized by top writing fellowships like the Sundance Episodic Lab and the NBCU TV Writers Program, as well as having been voted to the annual Black List, which selects the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. I believe that a good story starts by taking complicated characters hiding vulnerable secrets, and then unleashing those truths in extraordinary, high-flying moments. Co-creating these Atrium stories will require trust, communication, and a dash of hope and give us both the chance to discover new ways to learn about experiences beyond our own.
