So Yong Kim is an award-winning Korean American independent filmmaker. She has made three feature films, In Between Days, Treeless Mountain and For Ellen, set in Canada, South Korea and the United States, respectively.
Early life
She was born in Busan, South Korea in 1968 and was raised in Los Angeles, California.[1]
Career
Kim received the Special Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival for her debut feature, In Between Days. Loosely inspired by her own youth, the film was shot in Toronto, mostly improvised by its teenage cast members, whose awkward, raw romance and alienation from their surroundings were expressed through intimate digital photography.
In 2014, Kim released Spark and Light, a short film starring Riley Keough commissioned by fashion house Miu Miu as part of their ongoing series Women’s Tales.[2]
