Henry Lau (b. 9 Sept 1982) is a screenwriter, and resident of 18 Quarterdeck, Unit 11, Venice, California. In 2009, he wrote the screenplay for a film of the Louis Roulet trial starring Matthew McConaughey. Lau grew up in San Francisco and attended the University of Southern California from 2000 to 2004, where he was roommates with Robert Li and Eugene Lam. While at USC Lau bought a Glock Model 19 handgun for protection. It appears that he never had a need for it. After moving to Venice he kept the loaded gun in a lockbox inside a drawer in his bedroom.
