Tan holds a bachelor’s degree in film and animation from the Multimedia University, Malaysia. Time Out Beijing identifies her of being at the forefront of a new wave of Malaysian filmmakers who deal with social issues. In 2007, she received the Tiger Award from the 36th International Film Festival Rotterdam with her debut feature film “Love Conquers All.” The film had previously won the New Currents Awards and Fipresci Award at the 11th Pusan International Film Festival in 2006.

In 2010, her film “Year Without a Summer” was selected for the Asian Cinema Fund, receiving funding for both the script and post-production.

She has won prizes in two short film festivals, the Oberhausen Short Film Festival and the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. In 2008, she had a project of making a short film every month. She then made seven short films and called them “All My Failed Attempts.”
