Saving Face The Half of It Winner, Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature, 2020 Tribeca Film Festival Nominated, Best Screenplay, 2020 Independent Spirit Award
Alice Wu (Chinese: 伍思薇; born April 21, 1970)[1] is an American film director and screenwriter, known for her films Saving Face (2004) and The Half of It (2020).
Both of her films feature Chinese-American main characters and explore the lives of intellectual, lesbian characters. A number of production companies offered to buy the script for Saving Face, but Wu opted not to sell it in order to uphold an authentic portrayal of the Taiwanese-American community.[2]Saving Face and Wu's impact on the industry have paved the way for greater Asian representation in the film industry today. Her work has inspired Asian-American actresses such as Awkwafina and Lana Condor.[3]
