Born in South Korea, Stephen Kang moved to NZ as a teenager. After studying at Elam his first feature, Korean down under tale {Dream} Preserved, won a NZ Screen Award for best digital feature (2006). In 2011 Kang's short Blue — the tale of a fallen TV mascot — won the Critics’ Week section at Cannes. Kang’s second feature Desert began screening in local cinemas May 2011.
I think it's every filmmaker's dream to get invited to Semaine de la Critique (Critics' Week) in their lifetime. So when I found out the news, it was so surreal.
