Director KIM Tae-yong was boin in Busan, South Korea and he majored in Film Arts Studies at Sejong University.
He poses a sharp question about the base of our society and also provides a keen insight into stories that have been overlooked by the public. From <FROZEN LAND> a short film selected in the Cinéfondation of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival to <NIGHT BUGS>, <NIGHT MARKET> and <SET ME FREE>, Director KIM delicately mediates precarious characters to convey sorrowful and painful emotions to the audience. The harmony of camera working that deliver raw performances and delicate direction skills that portray the texture of each emotion is replaced with the heavy resonance of the director leaving a strong impression.
Director KIM shows the strength of a well-made story along with his unique sentiments and production ability through <SET ME FREE>, his feature film debut based on an autobiographical story. We can witness the rapid development of this 27 year-old young director who was first noticed by various film festivals at home and abroad.
