James Kim is a 2nd generation Korean-American storyteller and filmmaker who hails from Midwest America.  Mostly, Michigan and Illinois if we're getting specific.  He travelled to California in 2006 to attend film school and now resides in Los Angeles in pursuit of his storytelling and filmmaking dream.

​​

He holds the belief that people will gravitate towards good stories regardless of how they're presented.  It's because of this that he is ready to try different mediums, formats, and genres all for the sake of crafting a compelling narrative.  ​

​

In 2022, James was awarded an opportunity from SYFY to direct & write a short animated story as part of their AAPI Heritage Month proceedings.  The collaboration resulted in a short film called "Language Barrier" and features hand drawn animation from two talented artists, Santi Biondolillo and Elijah Espada.​​

​

The majority of James's experience is in live action and he continues to create original narrative content.  James's experience with writing, directing, producing, and editing helps him communicate his vision with collaborators and clients.  But most importantly, it helps him better connect with his audience.
