Alice Tsui was born and raised in San Jose, California. She graduated from Chapman University with a BFA in Film Production, with an emphasis in directing. Alice's passion for acting took root in sixth grade, when she took her first acting class. From there, she went on to perform in school stage productions, and her love for entertaining grew. At thirteen, she became involved in school choirs, where she developed a love for singing. In high school, Alice began to create small promotional videos for her high school's theater program's main stage productions alongside small video sketches for her YouTube channel. Her first year at Chapman, Alice was declared as an Integrated Educational Studies major, on track to become a teacher. During her first semester, however, she worked on her first professional film set as a production assistant on an independent feature. Her passion for filmmaking revealed itself then, and Alice applied to switch her major to film production in the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. After being accepted into the program, she went on to direct three short films, Uncovered (2016), Unexpected Gaieties (2017), and Lulu's Lunchbox (2017).
For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time
