Bio

Tricia Lee is an accomplished AAPI filmmaker known for her bold narratives that delve into the raw truths of humanity. With an impressive repertoire of 3 award-winning features and 13 shorts, she has earned a coveted spot on the prestigious Black List three times—for GOOD CHANCE (2020), IDOL (2021), and AMERICAN DREAMS (2023). She has collaborated with A-list talent such as Eva Longoria and Simu Liu. Her standout dramedy, GOOD CHANCE, not only made The CAPE List but also seized the grand prize at Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Screenplays and Cinequest, while ranking as a top 50 finalist in The Academy Nicholl Fellowship and top 14 finalist in the Universal Studios Writers Program.

A fellow of the SONY Diverse TV Writers Program, Dan Lin’s Rideback Rise Circle, Producers Guild of America Power of Diversity Master Workshop, and The Writers Lab (supported by Meryl Streep & Nicole Kidman), Tricia explores themes of belonging, voicelessness, and shared humanity from her Canadian perspective. Her features, including BLOOD HUNTERS—presented in Cannes by Frontieres and picked up by Hulu—and SILENT RETREAT, which saw a theatrical release across Canada and was exhibited by NBC Universal’s Chiller Network and Shudder, showcase her versatile vision. Tricia is also making waves in television, having written an episode for TALES FROM THE VOID (based on Reddit /nosleep) on ScreamboxTV, and has written the pilot for the anticipated animated anthology A BANQUET FOR HUNGRY GHOSTS, produced by 108 Media. Shorts she’s directed and produced have screened in competition at Oscar-qualifying festivals such as TIFF, Tribeca, Heartland Indy Shorts, LA Shorts, Rhode Island, Atlanta, NBC Universal Shorts, and Dances With Films NY.

With each project, Tricia Lee continues to affirm her status as a filmmaker in demand, bringing integrity, visionary leadership, and a generous spirit to every collaboration.
