ABOUT ME
Elsa Hana Chung is a NYC-born, raised, and based multidisciplinary director, writer, and producer. A graduate of Columbia University’s Film & Media Studies program with Phi Beta Kappa honors, she is also an alum of the Ghetto Film School, NYU’s Future Filmmakers Program, and the British American Drama Academy.
Since writing her first novel at age 12—a reimagining of The Outsiders set among rival girls’ cliques at a ritzy NYC private school—Elsa has explored adaptation as a lens for reflecting her lived experiences, particularly around identity, health, and New York City culture. Her work spans independent documentary (Si la Isla Quiere, Singing for Justice) and high-concept reimaginings (Antony and Cleopatra, Frankenstein).
Alongside her artistic practice, she has built a career across film and television at Florentine Films, Nine Stories Productions, and Cinetic Media, and currently works in TV distribution at All3Media International.
