The Writer: Michael Yu

I like writing and going to the movies. That's why I try to write screenplays. I love writing thriller, horror, and rom-com scripts. I have seen some great films: The Tomorrow War, Get Out, A Quiet Place, The Silence Of The Lambs and Rear Window. I am a Hong Kong - based screenwriter searching for production companies and industry outlets in the United States. Hong Kong has no agent system and production companies don't accept query letter so I try to break into Hollywood. Go to bio
