LeLe Park. Screenwriter
LeLe Park was adopted as a toddler from a village orphanage in South Korea and raised in Michigan suburbia. The family television taught her both English and American culture. She went on to train in film/video at Columbia College Chicago and has come full circle, now writing features and television. Her projects "ACHE" and "Visceral Fatherland" have proven competitive, winning/placing in dozens of competitions.
She's paneled at Eleven04 advocating for AAPI representation, was pitch choice at Coverfly, a guest speaker at Bucknell University, moderated Coverfly's Career Lab, a judge for pitchfest, and was chosen for the SeriesFest's Executive Elevation fellowship -- elevating filmmakers of color.
Her drama series "The Bliss Killer" is currently being packaged. She also recently signed on to be part of the WarnerMedia 150, agreeing to co-create/write a neo-noir drama series titled "ARGUS."
When she's not screenwriting, she's "mom" to two tiny humans and an active advocate for refugee children.
She is represented by VERVE Talent & Literary Agency and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
