Chris Chan Lee wrote/directed YELLOW, an independently financed feature film about the harrowing grad night of eight Korean-American teens in Los Angeles that culminates in a violent crime that will forever change their lives. YELLOW was invited to over a dozen film festivals, including the Slamdance Dramatic Competition 1998, Singapore International 1998, and the Los Angeles Film Festival 1997. The film received a U.S. theatrical release by Phaedra Cinema (now Pathfinder Pictures) and worldwide sales by Cinema Arts. YELLOW garnered high critical praise throughout the nation from publications such as the Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert), the Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, and the Village Voice. A sensation on the college circuit during its educational run by NAATA; young audiences got to see their lives reflected onscreen for the first time. In 2002 Chris completed a one-year stint in Singapore directing television at MEDIACORP STUDIOS for English-language primetime TV series. A one-hour drama on which he was a principal director was subsequently nominated for Best Television Drama (as well as two best acting nominations) at the ASIAN TELEVISION AWARDS (Asia's Emmys). Chris has also directed music videos for Asian American artists SEAM and THE MOUNTAIN BROTHERS, which have aired on MTV. He graduated from the USC School of Cinema in Los Angeles.
