Sundance Film Festival: Director So Yong Kim (Lovesong)
Early life
She was born in Busan, South Korea in 1968 and was raised in Los Angeles, California.
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.
Kim's film For Ellen premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
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.
In 2016 Kim's film Lovesong premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The film, about two best friends who fall in love, reunited her with Jena Malone (who appeared in For Ellen) and Riley Keough.
Personal life
Kim is married to Bradley Rust Gray. The couple have two children.
