Director’s bio
Kate Tsang is an award-winning writer/director based in Los Angeles. Her short film “So You’ve Grown Attached” was a national finalist for the Student Academy Award, won Best Narrative Short at San Francisco International Film Festival, and was nationally broadcast on PBS. She’s currently developing her first feature film and also in production on an animated short, Welcome to Doozy, with the Sony Animation and Frederator Go!Cartoon incubator. Kate spent the first decade of her life bouncing between the sleepy suburbs of California and the hectic city of Hong Kong. In her teenage years, she was inspired by Dana Scully from The X-Files to become a medical examiner so she shadowed local CSI officers and morticians to
prep herself for a gory future. All that changed when she took her first film class at UC San Diego, and consequently broke her mother’s heart by deciding to pursue a career in the arts. Kate earned an MFA from NYU’s prestigious film program where she won awards from the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association and National Board of Review for her work. Her mom has since forgiven her.
