Elaine was recently an Executive Story Editor on Dynasty for The CW, having previously written on the new Gossip Girl for HBO Max. She is humbled to have been a fellow in the HBO Writers Program, and to have been named to the coveted Young & Hungry List and as one of the Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch by the International Screenwriters Association.
She has had scripts place in the world-renowned PAGE Awards (Silver Prize), Austin Film Festival (3 times), Final Draft Big Break (Top Ten), Tracking Board Launch Pad (Top 50), and the ISA (Grand Prize). She was also chosen for the CBS Writers Program (though could not participate due to getting a job!) and has been in the second round for the Sundance Episodic Lab twice.
She wrote/directed the short form series “Doxxed,” which won Best Short Comedy at Catalyst (formerly itvfest), Best Achievement at Raindance, and a Telly Award. Other produced works include winning the Grand Prize and Audience Vote of the NewFilmmakers LA On Location Project (a $60K value) for “The Angeleno Hunter”, an Honorable Mention at the NBCUniversal/Justin Lin Interpretations contest for “Scare Me”, and having two films accepted to Academy qualifying festivals.
On a personal note, Elaine was born in Singapore, grew up in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then moved to Massachusetts. She does not speak any Chinese, loves Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburgers, and can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than two minutes.
Elaine’s philosophy: Artist + Activist = Artivist
