Crystal Liu

To the great shame of her parents, Crystal Liu is neither a doctor nor a lawyer. Liu graduated summa cum laude from UCLA – but with a BA in Film and Television, adding salt to the wound. Since she is single and childless, it is irrelevant that her award-winning short films have played at festivals across the world. In 2014, Liu was one of ten writers selected for the Sundance Institute’s inaugural Episodic Lab. Liu has had the privilege of being a part of the RMTV family since American Horror Story: Murder House and currently serves as Writer/Producer on AHS: S8.
