Won-Suk Chin
Filmmaker, Storyteller
Born in Seoul, Korea, Wonsuk Chin began his creative career as a playwright with Cupid’s Arrow which he wrote while attending Yonsei University. This critically acclaimed Faustian farce made him the youngest playwright in Korean theater at the time.
Chin then moved to New York to study filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts.
In 1998, he wrote and directed his first feature Too Tired to Die starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Mira Sorvino, Jeffrey Wright and Ben Gazzara, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
In 2001, he directed e-dreams, which chronicles the absurdly rapid rise and fall of Kozmo.com. Praised by the Village Voice as a “superb documentary,” the film opened in January 2002 in the States and still remains a popular film on Netflix.
Always a storyteller with the fascination with new technology, Chin started making films with iPhone and his tribute to the late Steve Jobs 992 world-premiered at Macworld/iWorld in 2012.
He has hosted a radio show on Arirang Radio, and appears weekly on Arirang TV to discuss Korean films.
Currently, Chin is working on his third feature The Ape of Wrath, a mockumentary set in 1976.
