TAESUNG YIM
Technical Advisor & Post Production Supervisor – 2013

We at VM Productions wouldn’t be where we are now – with regard to the production values of our work and all the related, complicated technical matters (editing, transfers, sound, etc., as well as even the initial PR stuff) -- without the constant 24/7 assistance of an ANGEL. He came to us at the start of pre-production of our feature film, Notes From The New World, and he generously remains with us up to the present. That angel is TAESUNG YIM--writer, director, producer, and editor.

After graduating from film school, Taesung wrote and directed several short films, including the award-winning “Two of Many.” He also worked on features in various capacities, including editor, sound effects editor, and associate producer. Taesung went on to write and edit two women-in-prison films, Caged Hearts and Under Lock and Key, and to direct and edit three episodes of the TV series Life, Love, and Hollywood. Ultimately Taesung’s hard-won skill, range, and versatility were indispensable to the successful completion of Notes from the New World, the mini-series The Missing Screenwriter, Shades of Day-Director’s Cut 2013 and Re-Imagining Dostoevsky (currently in post-production).
