T. L. Quach is a multi-talented Asian American Director and DGA-qualified Assistant Director who focuses on directing Commercial Content and Dramatic Narratives.
Born and raised in San Francisco Bay Area, Quach has started her life in poverty as a child of refugees from Vietnam. Blessed with a multi-cultural experience and witnessing the American Dream unfold, she has developed a rich perspective and showcases those complex, multi-dimensional feelings of survival and hope in her work. Drawing inspiration from Hitchcock and Asian Cinema while studying at UC Berkeley, Quach aims to diversify and update the Thriller and Drama lens with an authentic Women of Color perspective, giving the audience an evoking visual experience that entertains, inspires, and educates. When directing commercials and other short form content, she works with clients from underrepresented backgrounds, allowing them to have a visual voice for their brand. The most recent hired project is FRAGMENTED, which is a short film about dementia and the immigrant experience that will be in the film festival circuit. Additionally, her recent commercial with BREWYARD BREWERY has aired on ESPN, Comedy Central, and CNN in the local area under Spectrum Reach. In her narrative work, she emphasizes themes about women’s fears, striving to diversify and update the Thriller and Drama genres with a Woman of Color lens. She is a Gold House Futures Creator and a member of the Alliance Women Directors. Her short films have screened in various award-winning film festivals including Academy qualifying film festival Visual Communications Film Fest. Her feature length script, CRAVE, has been awarded among numerous screenwriting competitions including Scriptapalooza, ScreenCraft, and Final Draft Big Break and was a Sundance Screenwriters Lab / Asian American Fellowship second round selection. Quach currently resides in Los Angeles and is an active member of the Alliance of Women Directors (AWD). Through her membership and attending the 2019 Directing The Actor Lab at AWD, Quach is collaborating with other members in creating an Anthology Feature Film, THROUGH THE BLINDS. With the team of 7 women writer-directors, the seven short films explore the complexities of an American home with women-centric stories from the 1950s to 2019. After raising 123% of their development funds through crowdfunding, the project is in early pre-production, continuing their mission to bring forth narratives of underrepresented communities. |
