Dae Kim
Daeyoung Kim (Dae) is a Korean filmmaker and artist based in NYC and Seoul, South Korea.
He is currently studying at NYU Tisch in the Undergraduate Film & TV program and plans to concentrate on directing, editing, and writing. He has a fine arts background and wants to continue pursuing illustration and photography on top of filmmaking.
He aspires to create art that pushes the audience to look beyond the comforts of their subjectivity by exposing them to topics that are often overlooked in everyday life. His approach to doing this? Going into each project holding himself accountable for confronting the uncomfortable as well.
He is particularly eager to explore cultural identity and cultural conflict, spurred on by his own multicultural/international upbringing growing up in a space where both Korean and Western cultures were present (and not always in agreement).
He believes art grants the artist agency over their struggles—he aims to not only prove but to be an advocate for this.
