Writer, Thin Ice

Brittany Wang is a Chinese-American screenwriter, born in Tianjin, China and raised in suburban Maryland. A child of divorced immigrant parents (a true double whammy), Brittany attained stereotypical accomplishments: straight A’s, UCLA economics degree, corporate consulting career. Which left her miserable, so she briefly joined a commune, lived in a yurt, and trekked 200-miles through Spain. Armed with these dichotomous experiences, her stories explore the ways outsiders seek to redefine life and fulfillment on their own terms. Brittany was a LACAC fellow and completed her MFA at USC, where she received the Sloan Screenwriting Award.
