Michael is a Korean-American director based in New York who is drawn to narratives that span a wide range of genres but ultimately depict the nuances of one’s desires to feel accepted in this world and the intricacies in which they present themselves in everyday life.

He hopes to challenge perspectives and impart moments of sincere introspection. He believes that empathy is the most powerful force in the world and hopes to share that through his films.
