Andrew Yung
Screenwriter
Andrew is a Screenwriting Fellow and Sloan Tuition Scholar at the American Film Institute and a recent Stanford graduate, where he studied English, Computer Science, and Asian American Studies. He started writing young, sneaking into the library at recess to "borrow" paper and make picture books, a habit that never really stopped. He went on to win national Scholastic Awards for short stories and poetry before turning to film, and hasn't looked back since. Now an award-winning screenwriter, he writes primarily episodic television and features, drawn to characters messily finding their way through life to avoid going to therapy.
