Director Hyun Lee has joined the roster at Curious Film.
As
a young filmmaker, Lee has already managed to create a bold and
impressive body of work that's distinctively her own. Her signature
flair for stylistically vivid and complex compositions is exemplified in
Lee's slick, horror short film, Asian Girls.
The short was selected to have its premiere at the internationally
renowned SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas earlier this year.
It proceeded to have further screenings across the US and Europe,
including major film festivals such as the Palm Springs Short Film
Festival, London Short Film Festival and Encounters in Bristol, England.
Lee's unique horror was also well received in Australia, screening at
the Melbourne and Sydney Film Festivals where she was a finalist in the
Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films.
Following on from her success with
Asian Girls, Lee has completed her second short, the beautifully poignant, broken-fairytale
French Girls,
and created another buzz-worthy music video for electro-pop musician
Rainbow Chan. With her background in art and fashion photography, Lee's
enigmatic work has appeared in publications such as Ruins Magazine
(London), the FdeC Reader (Tokyo) and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian
Art's 4A Papers (Sydney).
Says
Kate Roydhouse, executive producer and managing director, Curious Film:
"Hyun is a truly talented and inventive filmmaker. I've been so struck
by her intricately crafted, visually powerful scenes that really stay
with you. We're delighted to have Hyun as part of the team."
Says
Lee: "I'm so excited to have this opportunity with Curious and I feel
privileged to be represented among some great filmmakers whose work I
love."
