Marilyn Fu

With me today on Writers at Work is Marilyn Fu, screenwriter, whose ROSEMEAD starring Lucy Liu will open in New York on December 5. Directed by Eric Lynn, ROSEMEAD had its premiere at this year's Tribeca Film Festival and has been nominated for a slew of awards at such festivals worldwide. I've seen ROSEMEAD and found it deeply affecting and disturbing. I want to tread lightly because it is a finely woven tale I don't want to spoil. I'll ask Marilyn how we should proceed in discussing it. Marilyn Fu is a graduate of Columbia University School of the Arts where she became the first recipient of the William Goldman Screenwriting Fellowship. As a reporter, she wrote for many Time Inc. publications. She wrote the screenplays for the 2014 thriller THE SISTERHOOD OF THE NIGHT, based on a Stephen Mullhauser short story, and the 2018 film THE HONOR LIST in which fourteen girls cope with the death of a friend. Moving forward, Marilyn wrote for the TV series THE BAXTERS and is a writer for THE COPENHAGEN TEST, a spy thriller to premiere in late December on Peacock. As for ROSEMEAD, Marilyn received a 2025 Golden Horse Award nomination for best adapted screenplay, one of Asia's highest honors in cinema. Rosemead is the story of a Chinese American mother and son in Los Angeles whose lives are unraveling, mostly in secret from each other. It is based on a series that appeared in the Los Angeles Times.
