Anthony Lee ( he/him) is an emerging writer and director working in theatre and film on the stolen and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, colonially known as Vancouver. Since 2018, Anthony has been working with theatre and film companies as a director, editor, writer, technical director, projection designer, educator, digital technologist and consultant.

 
With his mixed medium practice in film and theatre, Anthony has been challenging existing ways of storytelling. His playwriting debut, Discounted Hotpot Centre , a live-cooking solo show, was present across metro Vancouver including Vancouver Fringe Festival and rEvolver Festival, and has received overwhelmingly positive reception during its run.

As a Hong Konger, his works investigate the impacts of cultural diaspora and post-colonial Hong Kong anarchism. His last film, Old News Is So Exciting, has screened ReelWorld Film Festival, Local Sightings Film Festival, Chilliwack Independent Film Festival and has received multiple award nominations. Supported by the National Film Board, Canada Councils for the Arts and Playwrights Theatre Centre, Anthony’s current work Don’t think about the Pink Dolphins, is an animation hybrid film that confronts the guilt and political trauma of an oversea Hong Konger.

Anthony received his BFA in Film Production from Simon Fraser University in 2021. He is currently the programming coordinator of Vancouver Asian Film Festival, and an artistic associate at Radix Theatre.
