Lau was born & raised in South Florida before trading the East Coast for the West. His pre-existing passion for impactful & intentional artmaking in mediums like spoken word poetry found a home in documentary films when he was 16 - the same age Lau realized his identity was different. Having experienced the world as a young girl before anything else, Lau's discovery of bold, expressive narratives in the cinematic world would help him live a louder life through his transition & embracing of (healthy) masculinity. When he was admitted to USC's School of Cinematic Arts, Lau knew that California was officially calling. He's been in Los Angeles ever since.

Lau graduated from SCA's Production program in 2023 having completed 5 films. He directed 2 narrative shorts, co-edited the horror-fantasy short "Cabbage" during his senior year, & co-directed 2 documentary shorts. "Hombre Sin Razon," a biographical piece about actor & poet Richard Cabral, went on to premiere at the Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival as well as San Diego's Latino Film Festival in 2024. He collaborated with Cabral again later that year on his podcast "Resilience" as the post-production supervisor & episode editor. Since then, Lau has been on sets ranging from large-scale commercials to local music videos with companies such as MJZ Productions & Wild Goats Creative. Off-set, he's worked as an assistant to editor Dominique Pieb on projects like Gabriela Garcia Medina's proof-of-concept "Skrrrt!" & an upcoming release from the Funny Asian Women Kollective.

Lau currently finds himself producing new work & finishing projects set for release in the next year, including his latest short "Satisfaction" & the biographical docu-web series he's been developing since 2024, "IDentity." He's excited to keep creating, traveling, documenting, & loving his 3 cats (while also awaiting the return of "Riverdale" next October).
