Kim is a director known for her work highlighting diverse voices and stories across both commercial and documentary spaces. As a dancer in her previous life, her approach is hands-on, fast-paced, and full of energy. In short, she brings a vibe. Her portfolio spans fashion (Melbourne Fashion Festival, Vogue, Champion), commercial content (Snohetta, L’Oreal, AFL, Sexyland), to government and not-for-profit collaborations (L2R Dance, SBS, All The Queens Men, CSIRO, WIFT). She is able to work with professional actors and performers, as well as those who have never been in front of a camera.
In addition to directing, Kim mentors young CALD filmmakers, leads a global research project on the socio-political power of dance, and develops branding strategies for local social ventures. Recognised as a 'Leading Light' at the 2023 AIDC conference, her work has been showcased internationally (Canada, France, Spain), with screenings at film festivals and conferences, including COP2022.
