As a small child in the concrete jungle of Taiwan, Corrie grew up wanting to be an astronaut. Then a chef. Once she hit puberty, she quickly realised she was actually more interested in the interpersonal dramas of these occupations.
Now, a little older, Corrie is an exciting award-winning filmmaker and highly-sought after writer / director. She directed the AACTA-nominated Matchbox/ Stan Original miniseries Bad Behaviour, which premiered at the 2023 Berlinale in Official Competition, one of only seven TV series invited from around the world. She also directed the multi-award winning New Gold Mountain, a bold and ambitious new drama miniseries from Goalpost/ SBS, set on the frontiers of the Australian gold rush from the Chinese perspective – for which she won the ADG award for Best Direction in a Mini-series. More recently, she has completed The Artful Dodger for Disney+, and will be directing Good Cop / Bad Cop for The CW/Stan.
She directed and executive produced the first SBS Digital Original Homecoming Queens, a comedy-drama which was nominated for multiple awards including the AACTAs and the ADG awards. Corrie previously directed the Emmy nominated Mustangs FC – for which she received an ADG Award nomination for Best Direction in a Children’s TV Drama – as well as Five Bedrooms, Sisters, and Wentworth.
In 2018, she was presented with the Film Victoria’s Greg Tepper award in recognition for outstanding achievements as a Director. In 2020 she was named one of the Asian-Australian Leadership Summit’s (AALS) 40 Under 40 Most Influential Asian-Australians. She is currently in active development on several feature and TV projects that she is writing / directing, with both Australian and international production companies.
A graduate of the VCA school of Film & TV, Corrie’s work ranges from comedy to drama, fiction to documentary. To foster her love affair with television, she has previously shadowed directors on the Emmy-award winning Nowhere Boys, AACTA award winning Peter Allen, and on the groundbreaking final season of HBO’s The Leftovers.
Corrie is naturally drawn to stories that explore the themes of family, identity, and belonging. Perhaps it’s something to do with her intercontinental background. She’s still trying to figure it out.
Corrie is represented by RGM Artist group in Australia, and CAA in the U.S.
