Twitter: Film Director John H. Lee (@johnhleefilms) Follows Dara (@krungy21) on Twitter
I really hope that this means a movie or drama for Dara! ^_^
A member of the new generation of pan-Asian international directors, John H. Lee makes films that are imbued with top-notch cosmopolitan sensibilities. Upon graduating from New York University Film School, Lee made his feature debut with “The Cut Runs Deep,” a poetic independent film about Asian youth gangs in New York City.
Since his successful debut, Lee has directed numerous international music videos and TV commercials in Asia and Europe. In 2004, Lee directed his second feature film, a love story, entitled, “A Moment to Remember.”. It was Lee’s first Korean-language film-a passionate, psychologically-complex, and emotionally-charged story about a man and a woman, two star-crossed lovers, separated by the slow loss of the woman’s memory. “A Moment to Remember” instantly became the highest grossing domestic film in the romance genre in the history of Korean cinema. Subsequently released in Japan the following year, “A Moment to Remember” has become the most successful Korean film ever in Japan, a record that is still standing to date. “A Moment to Remember” is considered a romance “masterpiece,” standing above all of the other romantic films in Asia.
After a long search for projects to expand his horizons, John H. Lee next took on an experimental challenge, his third feature film, titled “Sayonara Itsuka,” based on a Japanese novel of the same title.
For his forth opus, John H. Lee’ took another surprise turn. It was a historical Korean War epic, titled “71/ Into the Fire,” based on a true story about a group of 71 student soldiers fighting to protect a school during the outset of the “forgotten” Korean War in 1950.
