Haley Chung is a writer, filmmaker, and paddle boarder from Canada!

Haley Chung is a bicoastal filmmaker and writer from Vancouver, BC. After being selected for the Fred Rogers Productions Writers' Neighborhood in 2023, she wrote for Emmy-nominated shows such as Rosie's Rules (9 Story Media/PBS Kids), Donkey Hodie (Fred Rogers Productions/Spiffy Pictures/PBS Kids), and Lyla in the Loop (Mighty Picnic/PBS Kids). 

Outside of children's media, Haley's most drawn to writing dysfunctional comedies with heart. She is currently a half-hour comedy writing fellow in the CAPE New Writers Fellowship, and a Project Involve writing fellow with Film Independent, where she wrote a stop-motion animated dramedy short with support from LAIKA Studios called STOP HITTING YOUR SISTER (to be released in 2028).

With parents from Hong Kong, Haley is mostly fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and French, and significantly less in German and Spanish. She graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with a very practical double-major in Film Studies and Human Rights and won the Pat Anderson Prize in Film Reviewing for her thesis about Minnie Mouse. Most recently, she was awarded a Fulbright grant in France, where she will spend the 2026-2027 school year teaching and working on her first novel. In her spare time, Haley loves paddle boarding, reading books about female vulnerability, and baking Cantonese desserts.
