Mental Pictures was formed by producer Amy Lo with a story-driven focus across film and TV. Her global production experience spans four continents, with projects based in the UK, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Amy has produced a number of films, both independently and within the studio system, and nearly all directed by women and people of color.

She recently produced Christina Choe's NANCY, which won the Screenwriting Award at Sundance, was nominated for two Spirit Awards and released by Samuel Goldwyn Films. NANCY was produced with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson's EON Productions, featuring Andrea Riseborough, Steve Buscemi, John Leguizamo, and J. Smith-Cameron.

Other credits include SUGAR, the first fiction series greenlit by ITVS, from creator Rose Troche; the Sony movie BATTLE OF THE YEAR directed by Benson Lee; Gaby Dellal's ON A CLEAR DAY released by Focus Features; and the hit dance documentary PLANET B-BOY.

Previously, as Head of Development for InFilm Productions, projects included the Oscar-nominated screenplay adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s CAROL; as well as THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, based on the short stories of A.M. Homes, with cast Glenn Close and Kristen Stewart in her first film role.

Amy has served on the Selection Advisory Committee for the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program, and review panels for the Tribeca Film Institute, the Global Film Initiative, and the International Emmy Awards. She was also part of the production team for Spike Lee’s INSIDE MAN; Steven Spielberg’s MUNICH; and ABC's SIX DEGREES produced by J.J. Abrams.

Amy grew up in Alaska and graduated from Stanford University with a dual degree in International Relations and Economics.
