There have been moments of doubt for her career with an almost shocking event in 2018! Her incredible success with writing the film, "Crazy Rich Asians", and her time working on its sequel is really something special but did end with a few unexpected changes! When it was time to work on a sequel, the company decided to go with an uneven, almost questionable offer, giving Lim less compensation than a male co-writer. What seemed to happen as the sequel stalled, and those behind "China Rich Girlfriend" were hoping to capitalize on a successful movie.
Now there is a bit of a shift in Hollywood's way of looking at female filmmakers. This looks like an amazing step forward to keep this incredible talent going!
Her experience is super wide-ranging! Lim, as an experienced screenwriter had roles on several teen-focused projects like "One Tree Hill," "Life Unexpected," "Star-Crossed," and "Dynasty." Her time with these popular shows made her one of the best! There was so much to take from those shows and now we're going to see this amazing creative energy shine.
