Kathleen Man Gyllenhaal

Hi, I'm Kathleen Kwai Ching Man Gyllenhaal and I'm a writer, director and producer born and raised in Hawai'i, now living in LA. I'm a "hapa haole", half-Chinese and half-Caucasian. I'm a Yale grad, Iowa Fellow and Fulbright Scholar. After teaching undergraduate film production for nine years, I left academia to work as a full-time filmmaker. Now I write and develop pilots and feature scripts, direct documentaries and produce/pitch series and docuseries under my banner, Upstream Pictures.
