Oriana Ng is a French-Singaporean writer-director for film and theatre. A graduate of New York University's MFA Film program (2024), her passion for working with actors led her to theatre. 

​

She studied acting in order to understand the actor's process, and her career revolves around working with actors: she privately coaches actors, freelances in casting, and frequently teaches Acting on Camera to kids and teens at the Lee Strasberg Institute. 

​

In a previous life, she studied Management with a focus on creative industries at HEC Paris, and worked as an assistant and intern in production companies in Europe and L.A.. 

​

Her short films Exit, Waltz for Three and Subway Crush have screened in festivals worldwide, notably at the Dances With Films and Dallas International Film Festivals.

She directed three one-act plays for the New York stage, The Cocktail Bench, Sugar Daddy, and Eclipse. The latter premiered at the Chain's One Act Summer Festival and also marked her playwriting debut.
