BIO

Tiffany Wu is a writer and director drawn to emotionally grounded stories that explore identity, cultural tension, and the messy beauty of imperfect relationships.

​

With over two decades of experience in visual effects producing, she brings extensive production expertise to her work as a filmmaker, combining it with a personal drive to tell bold, intimate stories.

​

Her creative pivot began in 2022, when she decided to leave behind an established career to pursue something she truly loves — storytelling. She returned to school and earned her MFA from the American Film Institute’s Producing program (Class of 2024), fully committing to her evolution as a filmmaker.

​

Born in Taiwan and raised in California, Tiffany brings a cross-cultural lens to her work, shaped by years working across San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Beijing. Her experience spans Hollywood blockbusters and international co-productions, giving her a unique fluency in both creative storytelling and complex production logistics.

​

Now focused on directing, Tiffany is committed to uncovering the extraordinary in everyday life, stories told with humor, honesty, and heart. She thrives on collaboration, clear vision, and crafting character-driven narratives that linger long after the credits roll.

​

Her directorial debut, Big Day, was an Official Selection at the 2026 LA Shorts International Film Festival, LA Women in Film Festival, and LA Femme International Film Festival, and received the Best First-Time Director award at the 2026 Ottawa Film Awards. She is currently developing the feature adaptation of Big Day alongside a slate of original projects, including her feature screenplay Tomato Fried Rice, which was recognized as a 2026 Semifinalist by The Writers Lab.
