Kim Tae-yong (director, born 1987)
Kim Tae-yong (born March 20, 1987) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. Kim got into filmmaking before he turned 20 years old, after watching and inspired by the film "The Son" by directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. He was nicknamed "a short film executive" as he had made many shorts from "As Children" (2005), "Twenty's Wind" (2005), "You Can Count on Me" (2006) to "Frozen Land" (2010). His shorts including "Night Bugs" (2012) and "Spring Fever" (2013) received theatrical releases as omnibus films with other directors' works. His directorial  feature debut "Set Me Free" (2014), critically acclaimed for its stable scriptwriting and direction, is based on his own story. As in his early films, he shows affection towards those who struggle to be loved. He is also very curious about what a human being dares to do in order to be loved.
