Short Bio: Regina is a screenwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area, where she graduated from UC Berkeley as an English major and a Creative Writing minor. She completed the Professional Program in Screenwriting at UCLA, where she wrote a script that placed as a Second Rounder in the Feature Drama category in the Austin Film Festival 2017. A recent graduate of the UCLA MFA Screenwriting program, Regina's horror TV pilot about sleep paralysis, INCUBUS, is a Blood List 2019 Fresh Blood Select, Sloan Finalist, and HUMANITAS College Drama Fellowship Semifinalist.

Short Artist Statement: Regina primarily writes in the horror genre and loves the challenge of finding new ways to scare the modern audience. Her writing explores that dichotomy between not only Western and Asian cultures but also the tangible and spiritual worlds, and how Asian Americans exist within them. Through layers of suspense and terror, she tackles these experiences that many Asian Americans share and strives to re-envision the horror landscape through this lens.
Logline #1: INCUBUS (Pilot)
After causing a near-fatal aviation disaster, insomniac air traffic controller Camille Park seeks help from infamous neuroscientist Kenji Kamitani to better understand her sleep paralysis. But Kenji’s early clinical trial and experimental manipulation of her amygdala brings about a terror she’s never known before: a bloodthirsty incubus.
Logline #2: CRYPTID (Pilot)
After a search-and-rescue operation of a cargo ship accident goes horribly wrong, rescue diver Rachel Rhee discovers that she has inadvertently released an ancient sea monster from its thousand-year slumber, one that is now hell-bent on killing its awakener.
Logline #3: PARACUSIA (Feature)
After the suicide of her schizophrenic mother, hospice nurse Grace Jung develops an obsession with a new patient who eerily has the same voice as her mother.
