Chris Dang
Refusing to follow his parents' desire for him to work in tech, Chris pursued the next best thing — comedy writing. He writes coming-of-age comedies about crews of weirdos and underdogs chasing their dreams and navigating their way in the world.
Chris wrote on the Sundance fellowship web series, AMBITIOUS, and is currently a writer on the narrative podcast, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
Outside of writing, Chris is a Star Wars nerd, a Guitar Hero expert, and a heavy drinker (of Coke Zero).
