Video Interview: Andrew Thomas Huang (Tiger Girl) – 2020 Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab

Published on March 30, 2020

A multidisciplinary visual effects artist who has previously worked with the likes of Perfume Genius, Thom Yorke, FKA Twigs and most notably Björk (he presented the VR project Stonemilker at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival), West Coast based Andrew Thomas Huang has been making inroads into film most recently with the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival preemed short, Kiss of the Rabbit God. He is now working on Tiger Girl, which is set in 1966 Los Angeles and is a coming of age fantasy about a repressed Chinese American teenage girl haunted by a tiger lurking in her attic. This future feature was undoubtedly informed by his most recent project in the short film, Lily Chan & The Doom Girls (2020).

During the 2020 edition of the Sundance Film Festival I had the opportunity to sit down with select filmmakers who attended the Sundance Institute January Screenwriters Lab. Here is my sit down with Andrew Thomas Huang.
