Biography

Born in Seoul, Korea, Wonsuk Chin began his creative career as a playwright in Korea with "Cupid's Arrow," a comedy he wrote while attending Yonsei University. This critically acclaimed Faustian farce made him the youngest playwright in Korean theater at the time.

Then, Chin moved to New York to study filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts and after several years as a struggling artist, he went on to write and direct his first feature film "Too Tired to Die" starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Mira Sorvino and Jeffrey Wright. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 1998 and was heralded as a potent mixture of American indie savvy, European weltschmerz and Asian high style.

His next film was a feature-length documentary "e-dreams" (2001) which chronicled the rise and fall of Kozma.com. The critics praised the film for having captured the dot com bubble vividly as the Village Voice called it "superb" and Variety wrote it was "thoroughly engaging."

Always a storyteller with the fascination with new technology, Chin started making films with an iPhone and his tribute to the late Steve Jobs, 992 (shot with iPhone 4S) world-premiered at Macworld/iWorld in 2012. He also executive-produced the groundbreaking smartphone film "Night Fishing" co-directed by Park Chan-wook ("Oldboy").

As a producer, Chin worked on such films as "Dance of the Dragon" (2008), a Singaporean Chinese Korean co-production and "Chaw" (2009), a Korean language creature movie.

In 2016, he's set to direct "Ape of Wrath" from his screenplay about an Ed Wood-like American filmmaker who tries to make a giant ape movie in Korea in 1976.
