King K. Lu is a writer/director who tackles character driven, Asian American stories that stir reflection. Through his interests in philosophy, social activism, and human behavior, he tells nuanced stories but with digestible themes.

King studied philosophy and economics at Duke University before concentrating in screenwriting and directing at Columbia University’s Film MFA program. He won the HUMANITAS College Drama Fellowship for his feature screenplay From June to July, which follows a Chinese American community in Atlanta, GA after a near-death boating accident occurs at a potluck gathering.

King participated in the Armed with a Camera Fellowship, and his films have screened at festivals such as LAAPFF, CAAMFest, San Diego Asian Film Festival, Charlotte Film Festival, NYU Sports Film Festival, and more. He won the Best Short Film award at the Golden Door International Film Festival for Wanda's Grave.

He currently teaches screenwriting as an Assistant Professor at Temple University and previously taught at Emerson College. He is currently developing two feature films: From June to July and Diary of an Asian Baller. His latest short film - a proof-of-concept titled Shot Clock - is on the festival circuit.
