Biography

Tiffany Hsiung is a multi-Peabody and two-time Canadian Screen Award-winning filmmaker based in Toronto, Canada. She is listed as one of DOC NYC's 40 under 40, which regrettably may not be relevant in 3 months when she turns 40. Most recently Tiffany's work was recognized with two Emmy® nominations for Apple TV series "JANE," inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall.

'Sing Me a Lullaby' (2020), which garnered the Oscar-qualifying Grand Jury Prize at DOC NYC, won the inaugural Toronto International Film Festival 'Share Her Journey Short Cuts Award.' The film continued to capture hearts, receiving The Directors Guild of Canada Best Short Film Award, the Guangzhou International Documentary Festival Best International Short, and securing a spot in TIFF Canada's Top Ten of 2020.

Tiffany's debut feature, 'The Apology' (2016), produced by the National Film Board of Canada, brought her the Peabody Award, the DuPont Columbia Award, and a host of international honors, including Best World Documentary The Busan International Film Festival and a top-three audience favorite at Hot Docs International Documentary Festival. Her films have seen international theatrical releases and have been broadcasted on PBS/POV, Al Jazeera, and featured by The New Yorker.

Harnessing her passion for storytelling and innovation, Tiffany co-created the Peabody Futures of Media award-winning digital interactive documentary 'The Space We Hold' (2017) and 'The Bassinet' (2019), a hybrid documentary marking the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada. In television, she began her episodic directing journey with the Emmy® award-winning production company Sinking Ship Entertainment on 'Dino Dana' (2018), and has since directed 'Lockdown' (2020), 'Until Further Notice' (2021), and 'Dino Dex' (2023).

Tiffany is developing a feature-length drama inspired by her acclaimed short, 'Sing Me a Lullaby.'

Committed to fostering transformative change within the BIPOC filmmaking community, Tiffany serves as the second vice chair on the executive board of The Director's Guild of Canada Ontario division and has been recently appointed to co-chair of the D.E.I advisory committee for DGC Ontario. Tiffany also sits on the board of DOC institute and HOT DOCS executive board.
