So Yong Kim is a filmmaker, musician and artist who works in partnership with her husband Bradley Rust Gray. Born and raised in Pusan, Korea, she emigrated to the US when she was 12. Having written, directed and edited the film, Kim states that her inspiration for In Between Days:

...came from my teenage years of growing up in a suburb of Los Angeles... In my circle of Korean immigrant teenage friends there was a persistent tension when it came to the topics of sex and love... I used this experience as a basis to build a backdrop for the characters.

Featured at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, this screening is a special London Premiere of In Between Days
