Peier Tracy Shen

Peier "Tracy" Shen is a Chinese writer & director based in Los Angeles. She has written, directed, and produced several short films and stage plays. Her short films have screened at several festivals, including Cleveland International Film Festival, AFI Fest, and DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival (Best Director). She served as a marketing representative for Universal Pictures for the past three years, and interned at FF2 Media as a critic for two years. She recently obtained her MFA in Directing from the AFI Conservatory. She also graduated with honors from Columbia University, with BA in both English and Film & Media Studies. She's drawn to the incommunicable-the unexamined memories that shape a person, the nebulous connections between strangers, and sometimes the unconquerable distance between cultures and classes. Therefore, her characters, somehow always out of place, are set to embark on the impossible task of finding themselves in the world.
