NAM Ki-woong is best known for his sixty-minute digital film Teenage Hooker Becomes Killing Machine which was invited to numerous film festivals from Bangkok to London to Vancouver to Singapore, the Resfest, and the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival. He also directed The Festival of Walpurgis and KangChul which won the Best Video Award at the Pusan Asian Short Film Festival and was screened at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival. It was also the Closing Film for the Resfest 2000 Seoul. NAM has continued to deliver idiosyncratic works over the years, including 2002’s <Cho Yun-Fat Boy Meets Brownie Girl>, which screened in Hong Kong, Stockholm and Seattle, <Never Belongs to Me> in 2006, <Temptation of Eve> (2007) and 2013’s <Kong’s Family>. In 2014 he made the controversial <Mizo>, which debuted at the Jeonju International Film Festival and also screened at Yubari. A violent tale of a woman’s revenge, stemming from her sexual trauma, the film initially had some difficulty receiving a rating for release in Korea.
