WRITER-DIRECTOR
Ziyao Liu is a writer-director based on Earth.
She creates character-driven narratives of hybrid genres, often about women. Her goal is to reveal characters’ strengths and weaknesses in everyday moments and reimagine their lives that are otherwise constrained by reality. She loves to find humor in the absurdity of our existence beyond language and cultural barriers.
A member of BAFTA Connect and a fellow of Armed with a Camera, she earned her MFA in Directing from the University of California, Los Angeles, and her BA in Film from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Born in China and now a resident alien in Los Angeles, she spends her free time tending her plants and walking in her neighborhood.
