Tatyana Kim
Director, Writer
Tatyana Kim received her Master’s degree in filmmaking at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. She has embraced four cultures—born in Kazakhstan, of Korean descent, speaking Russian as her first language, and now, for the past decade, realizing her artistic goals in the US. Being born in a post-Soviet country, Tatyana's work addresses issues of the post colonial mentality, identity preservation, and what diversity will look like in the 2020s. Changing the world's perception of female directors, Tatyana works in multimedia combining her background in film, technology, theatre, music, and movement. She strives to connect the world by creating original aesthetics and a diverse, multicultural narrative. Before going to the US in 2012 she worked as a copywriter in the international advertising agency Young&Rubicam. Among numerous award-winning commercials and short films, she directed an award-winning Victorian-era short film “Tragiometry” that now can be streamed on Amazon Prime.
