EUNICE LAU
DIRECTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER
A genre-jumping filmmaker and former journalist, Eunice’s work lives at the intersection of truth and imagination. From gang wars in Atlanta to time rifts in Kyoto, her stories span genres but remain grounded in emotional truth.
Her feature documentaries have aired on Discovery, PBS, Amazon, AppleTV, and YouTube Originals, earning her the NYWIFT Award for Excellence in Documentary Directing at the 2024 Woodstock Film Festival. Whether chronicling climate grief through compost (in Son of the Soil) or confronting inherited trauma and radicalization (in Accept the Call), Eunice’s work explores existential questions about humanity and the search for meaning in a turbulent world.
A proud alum of the Film Independent Episodic Lab sponsored by Netflix, she is currently developing her feature documentary A-Town Boyz into an original drama series about two Asian-American teens caught between rap stardom and gang wars. She’s also behind the adaptation of Lovelier, Lonelier (by Daryl Qilin Yam), a fantasy sci-fi mystery set during the 1996 passage of Comet Hyakutake, where love, memory, and time collapse in a parallel world.
Her work is supported by the Jerome Foundation, Tribeca Film Institute, Chicken & Egg Pictures, and she is featured in publications such as The New York Times, Variety, and Filmmaker Magazine. Eunice holds an MFA in Film Directing from New York University. She lives in New York City, and volunteers at Singapore Unbound, a literary and advocacy nonprofit organization.
