Andrew Yung
Screenwriter
Andrew is a Screenwriting Fellow and Sloan Tuition Scholar at the American Film Institute, and a recent graduate of Stanford University, where he studied English, Computer Science, and Asian American Studies. He started writing from a very young age, sneaking into the library at recess to "borrow" paper and make picture books. That habit never stopped: he went on to win national Scholastic Awards for short stories and poetry before switching to film, and he hasn't looked back. He loves writing episodic television, features, and anything else that involves characters connecting over their passions.
