Wendy Wang

Biography

Wendy Wang is a Los Angeles–based writer-director and USC alum whose work explores control, identity, and survival through the lens of character-driven horror and psychological thrillers. She blends grounded emotion with bold genre storytelling, often drawing on folklore, urban paranoia, and personal experience to craft unsettling, emotionally resonant narratives. Wendy’s directing background spans music videos and narrative shorts, where she has developed a reputation for marrying striking visual style with intimate, character-focused storytelling. Her early career in distribution and post-production, combined with producing credits on award-winning shorts such as Kickstart My Heart (starring Emma Pasarow) and Burn Out (starring Everett Osborne & Tommie Earl Jenkins; executive produced by Jaime Lee Curtis), gives her a unique dual perspective, balancing creative vision with practical execution. As a filmmaker, she gravitates toward unreliable narrators, fractured perspectives, and moral ambiguity.
