LU ASFAHA

Lu Asfaha is an award winning filmmaker based in Toronto. Her films bend genres to explore themes of identity, belonging, and how things fall apart. In 2018 she released the short documentary Freedom Summer on CBC Gem, won the CineFAM script competition to make fantasy short Paladin and was part of the post production team on CSA-winning documentary Mr. Jane and Finch. In 2019, she was a Doc Accelerator Fellow at Hot Docs Film Festival and won the RBC Emerging Director Award at Regent Park Film Festival. Most recently, she was a ScreenCraft Finalist, a Charles Street Video Media Creation Resident, and recipient of the inaugural BIPOCTV Reel Work award. She is currently in bringing the short horror film, 'Fresh Meat' to a festival near you.
