Director Biography - Faith Liu
FAITH LIU is a writer and director based in Los Angeles. Homeschooled K-12 in Morganville, NJ, Faith's initial creative instincts led in a variety of directions: creating a documentary short on the shared experiences of Sudanese refugees and Polish expats; producing and directing a full-length production of Mozart's The Magic Flute set during the Cold War; and publishing in multiple academic journals on the subjects of J.R.R. Tolkien and Southern Gothic fiction. Ultimately, however, Faith honed in on filmmaking - she received her MFA in Screenwriting from USC as an Annenberg Graduate Fellow and the school’s inaugural T.C. Wang scholar, and became a member of both the CAPE New Writers Fellowship and Christina Hodson and Margot Robbie's Lucky Exports Pitch Program. She has worked on shows like HBO Max's WARRIOR and AMC's BETTER CALL SAUL; been hired to write for Blumhouse, FilmNation, Sony Pictures Animation, and Disney/Pixar; and enjoys loner characters finding community in unlikely places. She is repped by Verve and Redefine Entertainment.
