Short Bio: Amy Wen was born in a town in rural China where there were no paved roads. But that's fine. Paved roads are overrated. At 6, she and her mother came to Canada. She watched a lot of movies as a kid, and for each movie, 500 commercials. She pursued an English & Creative Writing BA, a Spanish Certificate, and after years in customer service and T3.5 competitive gaming, she's now completing her screenwriting MFA, crafting the fantastic worlds of her childhood dreams and... let's be honest, friends.
