Oakland Native Living in Los Angeles
Erica is a fifth-generation Chinese American director based in Los Angeles. She wrote and directed "Americanized" inspired by her experiences growing up in Oakland and playing high school basketball. The film earned a Vimeo Staff Pick and 26 awards at festivals like Bentonville Film Festival, Palm Springs Int'l ShortFest, including the Oscar-Qualifying Award at Cinequest.
Erica looks for stories with compelling characters and a strong emotional core. Her film “Off Fairfax” (written by Rell Battle) is a comedic-thriller that premiered at Tribeca Film Festival and won an Honorable Mention at Slamdance. Then, Erica’s latest film “The Ghost” (produced by Disney’s Launchpad alongside Executives from Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm) is a coming-of-age horror that's currently streaming on Disney+.
Erica’s start in music videos led to her path in commercials. Her work has been featured in Shots, Muse by Clio, and recognized as AdAge’s “Editor’s Pick” and “Pick of the Week.” She was selected for SHOOT Magazine's New Directors Showcase and the Commercial Directors Diversity Program (CDDP), and has since worked with BBDO, Google, Bank of America, and Meta.
This year is shaping up to be her busiest year yet. As the winner of the Academy Gold Fellowship for Women, Erica is developing her debut narrative feature with the support of The Academy of Motion Pictures and the luxury brand CHANEL. Additionally, Erica has been training as a TV director through the Disney Entertainment Television Directing Program and will direct an episode of a multi-camera drama for ABC.
Erica’s combined background in cinematography and dance influences the rhythm and energy behind her visual style. Inspired by her Oakland roots, Erica is an emotional storyteller who creates work that reflects the diverse community in which she grew up.
