Ivan Tsang most recently wrote several episodes for an “Untitled American Adaptation of Korean IP” for Disney+, though his initial breakthrough into the business occurred when he wrote an original pilot for HBO entitled “Everyone Loves Asian Men” as part of the HBO Access Writing Fellowship.

On the feature side, Ivan Tsang wrote the screenplay “Lunar New Year” with Simu Liu (star of Marvel’s Shang-Chi) attached to lead with Feigco (Paul Feig) producing, as well as “Dragon’s Den”, a K-town action comedy for Luna Media (former SVP of Miramax). Ivan is also currently writing “The Dougs” as a starring vehicle for Randall Park for Inferno Pictures. At the same time, Ivan’s indie prestige thriller, “Impostor” was optioned by Morning Moon Productions (Producer credits include Wildflower, The Witch, Late Fame).

On the TV side, Ivan wrote a pilot for Hybe America (Producers of “DAVE” on FX) with Andrew Phung (EP “Run the Burbs”) attached as showrunner as a Canadian co-production. His pilot “I’m Fuckin’ Invisible” participated in the Asian American TV Accelerator created by Giant Leap Media (Producer of We Bury the Dead starring Daisy Ridley, and Morning starring Benedict Cumberbatch)

Beyond America, Ivan is also an in-demand international screenwriter who has written and developed multiple projects in Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Canada. International highlights include “E.N.O.C.H.” for Taiwan’s Six Studios (Producer of Garth Ennis’ Crossed), “Ugly Duckling” a feature adaptation for Korea’s Dexter Studios with Arden Cho (KPop Demon Hunters) set to star, and “Where the Mountain Woman Sing” for an international Emmy- nominated Producer in China.

Ivan is a native of Toronto, Canada, who found his way into America via the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). After graduating, Ivan attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where he received his MFA in Film and TV writing. Ivan has always been passionate about Asian American representation and quickly moved to LA after graduation to join the Asian YouTube wave of the mid-2010s, where videos he wrote for Asian American Influencers amassed over 100 million views.
