I came to film as an audience member first.
Born in Seoul and raised in New Zealand, I grew up between two cultures.
One rewarded conformity,
the other rewarded self-expression.
Caught between the two, I learned to notice the difference between who people are, and who they’re expected to be.
For a while, I conformed.
I graduated law school, and moved into corporate banking. On paper, I was doing everything right. In reality, something was missing.
What moved me were other people’s stories. Documentaries, films, and videos of strangers on the internet who dared to take a different path.
Eventually one story moved me enough to change my own. I left my comfortable life in New Zealand and moved to Thailand to reinvent myself — exploring Eastern philosophy, fighting Muay Thai and discovering what lay beyond the life I’d been taught to pursue.
Today I make documentary and brand films about people and organisations challenging the norm.
Those pursuing something meaningful, building something extraordinary, or daring to do things differently.
Because the stories that move us most are the ones that remind us what’s possible.
