Kevin Jin Kwan Kim

Kevin Jin Kwan Kim is a Korean-Canadian director and writer based in "Vancouver, BC," the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations.

He values the length of every shot and has been recognized for his ability to tell intimate, emotional stories in a short period. He cherishes collaboration in his work and aspires to raise the voices of those in the BIPOC community.

His series of micro-shorts about his heritage including What Did They Say?, Daniel "Jun Ho" Lee and Halmeoni received viral attention as they gained over 40 million collective views across various social media platforms and has been recognized at the YDA in Cannes, Webby Awards, Shots, CBC and more. His short film Sun, Moon and Four Peaks premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival and won Grand Prix RPCE at the Oscar-qualifying Festival du Nouveau Cinema. Kevin is currently in development of his debut feature film, My Dad, the Rockstar.

He's also a little shy at first glance but loosens up easily with some sweets.
