Eliza Lee was the 2016 Sundance Asian-American Feature Film Fellow, and attended the
Sundance Screenwriters Intensive that same year with her Athena Film Festival award-
winning screenplay, “A Beautiful Lie,” about crime novelist Patricia Highsmith.
Currently, Lee has two television projects with Muse Entertainment, including her
original TV series, Rare, inspired by her experiences as a teenage model; and an epic,
WWII mini-series starring and executive produced by Steven Yeun (The Walking
Dead). Her pilot, “Angelica,” has been included on the 2017 WriteHer List, the best
unproduced pilots by women.

As a 2015 Outfest Screenwriting Lab fellow, she was mentored by Patrick Tobin, Don
Roos, and Guinevere Turner, Gideon Raff among others. A live reading of her script was
held at the festival.

Eliza’s feature, “Maybe Tomorrow,” about rock legend Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders,
is being produced by Michelle Sy (Finding Neverland), and executive produced by Sophia
Chang. With this script, she also went through the CAPE 2015 Film & TV Fellowship, and
was mentored by executives at Fox, Sony, Universal and more.

Educated in Canada and the Czech Republic, Eliza took a detour to Asia as a DP trainee before returning to her calling: to write and direct. She is represented by Jonathan Hung.
