Director Kang has been all over the indie/low-budget map. Girl may grant him larger success, or at least a touch of controversy. Seems some people are all up in arms with his portrayal of Asian women as comely lovecats, though from what we've seen, it looks like a winning combo of beauty and brains.

[INTERVIEWS > Young Man Kang] 12/01/02


"Soap Girl" opens Dec 6, 2002 in Los Angeles.

Interview with Young Man Kang, prolific indie filmmaker on his latest pic "Soap Girl"


This fiercely prolific indie filmmaker Young Man Kang has his roots in studying fine arts at Hong-ik University in Seoul, Korea. In 1994, Kang moved to New York City where he studied film at The New School. In 1996, Kang moved to Los Angeles and continued his film career working as a director for a television commercial production company. Between 2000 and 2002, Kang made four feature films and a documentary. His feature debut, "Cupid's Mistakes," was allegedly made with an invisible budget of US$980 and had a small theatrical in Los Angeles. His second feature, "1st Testament: CIA Vengeance" is an action thriller. "Hatian Slave Children," his documentary, won Best Effort Documentary at 2001 Jamerican International Film Festival and Silver Remi Award at 2002 WorldFest Houston. His third feature is "Death Valley Diary." His fourth and most current feature, "Soap Girl" won an audience award at the 2002 Big Bear Lake International Film Festival. "Soap Girl" will be opening theatrically in Los Angeles starting Friday, December 6, 2002 at Laemmle's Fairfax Cinemas.

iR: When did you decide to be a filmmaker? How did you get started? What or who inspires or has inspired you as a filmmaker? Who are filmmakers you like or you look up to?

My art background is what brought me into filmmaking. I had been drawing a lot of pictures and comic books since I was five years old. I studied hard in high school and finally got into the best art school, Hong-ik University in Korea in 1986. I studied visual design, conceptual design, story boarding, creative idea development, animation, TV commercials and film at that school. The moment that inspired me about moviemaking happened in my third year at the University. I'd watched a lot of films from America, Europe and all over the world. Federico Fellini, Andrea Tarkovsky, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, John Casavettes, Akira Kurosawa, Alejandro Jodorowsky, etc., especially my favorites Werner Herzog, Akira Kurosawa and John Casavettes. These artists have such a profound impact on their audience. I thought I could create a different world through filmmaking where anything is possible and where I can [share] entire worlds of experience with my audience.

iR: You are incredibly prolific. Since 2000, you have made four features and one documentary. Can you talk a little about each project, and what each means to you as a filmmaker?


As a Korean making movies in the U. S., I try to make films that combine both nations' perspectives into a new style based on bi-cultural and interracial subjects. My first feature "Cupid's Mistake" is a story about interracial dating between a Korean girl and a Japanese guy, as well as a German girl and American guy in Los Angeles, a quadrangle cross-cultural romantic comedy.

My second feature, "1st Testament: CIA Vengeance" was the first independent co-production between a Korean and an African-American [production company] in Los Angeles. "1st Testament" is about a North Korean female spy versus and an African-American CIA agent.

My third feature "Death Valley Diary" was about a confrontation and adventure with nature, a terrifying journey with a racially mixed cast and crew living out their worst fears in Death Valley.

"Haitian Slave Children" the documentary that I shot 100% in Haiti was a challenge in my approach toward a heavily humanist subject about Haitian slave children, for which I got a Best Documentary Award at the 2001 Jamerican International Film Festival and a Silver Award at the 2002 Worldfest in Houston.

My fourth feature, "Soap Girl" is a tale of love between an Asian massage girl and a virgin American poet. I think it's controversial.

iR: I was told that you made your first feature "Cupid's Mistakes" for US$980. Is that true? How did you manage to make it on such a limited budget? How did you get it distributed?

"Cupid's Mistake" broke the world's record for the lowest budget feature film of all time. The budget was $980. As you may have guessed, all of the actors in "Cupid's Mistake" are my friends. I came up with the idea that one character should pursue the other. Three days of crazy filming. No permits, guerrilla shooting, no script, [and] 100% improvised. Handheld shooting with long continuous shots made "Cupid" both cost effective and easy to edit.

In the winter of 1999 we showed "Cupid" at the "Light and Screen Film Festival" held in New York City's celebrated Siberia Bar. We were amazed at the audience's overwhelmingly positive response. Phaedra Cinema, best known for its foreign films "The Terrorist," and "La Separation" had scheduled theatrical releases "Cupid" in Los Angeles and New York.

iR: What inspired you to make "Soap Girl," your fourth and most recent feature? Why does the subject matter appeal to you? What was your vision for the film? Is it just pure entertainment or do you have a message with it? What are you trying to convey to the audience?

The story was pitched to me by the producers Tomiko Lee, Dennis Lee and writer Tony Young, [which was] asically a farce about hijacks at a massage parlor involving geeky male virgins, gangsters and immigrants.

So the story evolved away from the "Pretty Woman/Cinderella" story and into one that plays on the audience's expectations of Asian stereotypes. Maya turns out not to be an immigrant, though everyone in the beginning believes that she is. None of the massage girls are naive, innocent lambs with hearts of gold; [they] are simply trying to survive.

The main theme of the story [is] Maya's evolution from an abused girlfriend to an empowered, more mature woman, in control of her love life and her destiny. The lesson of how people can grow and change is keenly brought to life by actress Kerry Liu.

If there is a lesson here I believe it is that an Asian girl can actually be a protagonist in her own life and that she can have adventures that inspire other people to become survivors as well.

iR: Soap Girl" is essentially a love story. What kind of a love story are you trying to tell? What does the idea of "love" mean to you as a filmmaker?

Love and intimacy can heal the scars that accumulate in people's lives. Maya is scarred by her former boyfriend. Why does she end up working at a massage parlor? Revenge? Jealousy? A desire to become another person? That question is left to the viewer. Why does she fall in love with Harry? Perhaps for many reasons, [and] perhaps [for] none at all. Love knows no logic or rationale.

iR: Can you talk about the process of making "Soap Girl"? Can you also talk about self-distributing the film, and why you have chosen to self-distribute it?

Our total shooting time was twelve days. I shot with a Sony DSR 500, [later] blowing the images up to 35mm. Gilbert Yablon, the technician at Filmout Express, did wonderful job. So far our total budget including self-marketing is about $500,000.

Most distribution companies are afraid to release independent films theatrically because they believe that [the] lack of product identification will make them lose money at the box office. But they have to release independents theatrically in order to create interest for the rental. In this strange environment we decided to create interest in our own movie by taking the bold step of promoting our movie theatrically by ourselves.

iR: "Mist" is your next project. What is it about?

"Mist" is about a Far Eastern female Vixen, a supernatural being from Korean legend battling serial killers to find the modern incarnation of her lover and become human against backdrop of a corrupted modern day city. It's a co-production between the U.S. and South Korea.

iR: What is your dream project? If you can make any movie in the world, what would it be?

While I like a film to be composed of stunning sounds and pictures, I am still basically a humanist. I like to see characters put to test. In the genre of war films a wide variety of interesting people can be hurled together in a way that tests their spirit. Now the film becomes not just a story but an experience to be lived on a variety of levels.

At this time in film history, we have a huge archive of films relating to the Vietnam War. But the Korean War, almost a massive section of Asian American history, has not been told. I feel that the script "Memory of War" that I have created will tell the story of the Korean War as it happened and is experienced by the survivors to this day.

YOUNG MAN KANG: CORRECTING CUPID'S MISTAKE
June, 25, 2000

For every film playing in a theater today, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) which never get the chance to find their way into the projector of a commercial venue. The vast majority go unseen for a very good reason: they are so awful that don't deserve to be seen. But there are a precious few which, for a variety of reasons, are suffering under the injustice of not getting the attention they are truly deserving. One of the most delightful unseen gems in today's indie cinema is "Cupid's Mistake," a wonderful Los Angeles-based love quadrangle which explores the agonies and ecstasies of romance. Filmed on a teeny $980 budget (yes, $980!!!), this cross-cultural comedy of missed passion and unexpected surprises provides a unique casting opportunity for Asian-American actors, most notably the beautiful Toya Cho as a model who can decide between two suitors and the muscular Ken Yasuda as the bodybuilder who is more focused on building his biceps instead of warming his heart. At a time when the Asian-American presence in films is basically limited to martial arts chopping and token supporting role sidekicking, it is a wonder to experience this unique non-stereotypical big-screen presentation of this community. "Cupid's Mistake" is the creation of Young Man Kang, a 34-year-old filmmaker whose training and experiences straddle two worlds. Born in Korea, he studied fine arts at Hong-ik University in Seoul and taught fine arts at a prestigious prep school there which bears the Beckettian moniker of Godot Art. He moved to New York in 1994 to study filmmaking at the New School and created several short subjects including an animated film. Moving again in 1996, he came to Los Angeles and began work directing commercials, with duties as a storyboard artist and camera operator thrown in for good measure. "Cupid's Mistake," on which he wore three hats as director-writer-producer, was shot in classic Cassavetes-style guerrilla cinema: a shoestring budget (no money for filming permits), the bare bones of a story outline but no written script, and a remarkable free reign for improvisation among his actors. Unlike many indie films in waiting, "Cupid's Mistake" has a distributor: Phaedra Cinema, which is best known for its foreign films "The Terrorist" and "La Separation." However, the production was shot on digital video and has yet to be transferred to film stock--a technological situation which has hindered a wide release (although plans for a few exhibition and an Internet pay-per-view screening are in the works). To date, the film has had exactly one public screening, at the weekly Light+Screen Film Festival held in New York City's celebrated Siberia Bar--to overwhelmingly positive audience reaction.

ťǵ Ǽ (Cupid's Mistake)
Sep 25, 2000

This little (70 minute) jewel is much like a cinematic poem celebrating the ups and downs (hey, lets face it - usually overwhelmingly downs) of UNREQUITED LOVE. Writer/Director Young Man Kang gives us a fresh, hip retelling of the basic equation of unrequited-ness. namely A loves B, but B loves C, but C loves D, and well - youll have to see for yourself where the chain ends in the hands of Kang and his talented, attractive, offbeat young cast. Filmed along the Santa Monica/Venice Beach magical strand of the West Los Angeles Pacific coastline, theres an electric, happening, almost upbeat feeling to the story, which is told in sweetly framed and segued subchapters -- all despite the fact that no one seems to be actually getting the object of his or her affection, -- not to mention, lust. The end result is a film that will make you mist-up knowingly and cathartically if youve recently lived through the experience, and smile wistfully, if youve had time to heal, but still recall those head-over-heals past days when you were miserable, but oh-so alive. CUPIDS MISTAKE opens Sept. 15/16 at Laemmles Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Bl., W. Hollywood). Program information/Times: (323)848-3500

ťǵ Ǽ(Cupid's Mistake)
October 1, 2000

Pity poor Gil. He makes one girl cry because he DOESN't love her, and another girl cry because he DOES love her. It's a movie about vapid people who can't communicate, and relationships where no one relates. It's an "I love her, but she loves him, but he loves her..." chain-gang of young people searching. Each link passes the unrequited love bug on to the next without indulging in its joy along the way. Everybody is seeking something else. When lovely Toya tells Gil, "It's very unfair of you to tell me that you love me!" we sense the ghosts of many one-sided love affairs rising all around. It's a beautiful young cast of relative newcomers, in a film shot around the splendor of Venice Beach with virtually no script. Renegade filmmaking hasn't been this experimental since the 1960s. Korean-born director Young Man Kang let his cast get the feel of the situation, then improvise their scenes, with a variety of results. And did we mention this is essentially a light hearted story, not a soap opera?

ťǵ Ǽ (Cupid's Mistake 2000)

We all know the feeling. We love them, but they love someone else. All right, it might not even be that we love them, but we at least have a vested interest in finding yourself snuggled next to them late at night. It happens all the time, and there isn't a damn thing that anyone can do about it. With all of the times Cupid's arrow has misfired, let's be glad he doesn't like to do a William Tell on all of us. In fact, Cupid may strike gold and make us love the one that loves us everyone once in a while, but in the general he's got all of the accuracy of a Brittney Spears song... he hits everything but the mark, get's everyone all riled up over nothing, and makes us turn out a lot of Hollywood dribble in the hopes of getting further in a relationship that is going nowhere. Such is the subject of Young Man Kang's (not a typo, it's really his name) film Cupid's Mistake, in which girl number one likes guy number one who likes girl number two who like guy number two who likes girl number one. Yes, we're back in geometry class studying this love rectangle, hoping that it doesn't turn to dribble like just about every other Hollywood romance. Filmed on a budget of $980, Cupid's Mistake works off of improvisation, bizarre videography techniques, and incredible acting from complete nobodies in the acting world. Yet it still ends up keeping us from being sick to our stomachs, only has one time that we see the reflection of the videographer, and is romantic besides... all of which makes us wonder why the hell we pay for a $10 million Julia Stiles/Freddie Prinze Jr vehicle that does none of the above and makes us feel like we're going to vomit from its utter lack of quality besides. Kang deserves credit for conceptualizing an editing a no budget film on no budget, finding a distributor (Pandera Cinema) despite having no budget, and also making a film that actually entertains on said budget of zero. The slick videography techniques Kang uses are readily available using almost any video editing software, and Kang edits his movie so smoothly that the 90 minutes of it fly by. Yet I'm really not praising the emperor with no clothes because he saved the cost of fabric... really. The quadrangle behind Cupid's Mistake is well set up, the story solid and the acting as solid as you would expect from actual professionals (they are all credited actors, just none you would recognize), and the improvisation lends a real credo to the dialogue (although there is no "Gillian's Island" monologue, this kicks the shit out of the Blair Witch Project's conversations). I would go so far as to venture that Cupid's Mistake would be a pleasant art house romance without it being the up and coming poster boy of the digital video revolution that it is. Of course there are flaws. Although the acting is solid and the conversation real, the actors still come off as slightly fake. At points it becomes clear that the dialogue is attempting to reach predestined points, and that the story has needed trimming here or there, and some of the visuals just don't work as well on video (which tries to compensate for natural lighting that could have served great purposes at certain points) as they would on film, but all of these flaws would have been eliminated (at the efficiency Kang works on) with an extra grand or two in the coffer. All in all it's a solid indie flick, not perfect, not bad, and definitely worth a view.

KOREAN-American director-writer-producer Young Man Kang's comedy, shot on video for just $980 (yes, $980), is no mistake. The California-set tale of a love quadrangle isn't perfect. For one thing, it goes on too long. But it looks good, the cast is perky (especially Toya Cho, as a model who can't decide between two suitors), and Kang shows lots of talent. It will be interesting to see what he can do with a real budget. Running time: 70 minutes. Not rated. At the Two Boots Den of Cin, Avenue A and Third Street.

Stammering Through Generic Moments of Rejection
August 24, 2001

Cupid's Mistake" begins with a character issuing a voice-over advisory: "This is a story of relationships, and how caring for someone doesn't mean that person cares for you. You know what I'm talking about." So we do, which is probably why most of us will not feel a compelling need to experience generic moments of painful personal rejection as played out by a group of young Southern Californians with limited verbal skills. One character is compelled to finish every statement she makes with "or something"; another giggles hysterically through most of her speeches and at one point, describing the beaches of her youth, says, "I so remember it would be like mud and sand and stuff." With such alluring patter, it's hard to believe that anyone could be lonely in Los Angeles, but apparently a few people still are. For example, there is Gil (Everado Gil), an aspiring filmmaker whose work ? nice if you can get it ? seems to consist of photographing pretty girls as they frolic on Venice Beach. Gil is in love with Toya (Toya Cho), a chattering Korean-American model, but Toya is in love with Ken (Ken Yasuda), a Japanese-American bodybuilder. Closing the circle in this no-sex "La Ronde" is Susan (Susan Petry), a German-born model who is in love with the oblivious Gil. In this land of perfect bodies, all Gil has going for him is some Johnny Depp-ish facial hair, which may be why he became an artist. He becomes the emotional center of the piece, though his emotions are limited to self-pity and anger. He begins stalking Toya, following her in his car and peeping through her windows. The film finds such behavior adorable. Film, actually, is a misstatement, because "Cupid's Mistake" was shot on video, and not video of the highest quality. Mostly, the picture looks and sounds like a public-access soap opera, with flat lighting, tinny dialogue and a loopy synthesizer score. Like Gil, the would-be filmmaker, Mr. Kang has discovered the effects button on his camcorder, and he relies upon it to provide what style his work has: a pixilated movement here, a fade to monochrome there. At 70 minutes, "Cupid's Mistake" is short, but then, so is our time on this planet.

Circle Jerk

August 22, 2001

Made with $980 and about as many brain cells, Cupid's Mistake is more cute than clever. A tale of titillation and rejection, Young Man Kang's debut feature follows four unfulfilled twentysomethings in the City of Angels. Susan, the anguished actress, loves Gil. Gil, the tormented filmmaker who makes videos of frolicking women on the beach subtitled with Hallmark sentiments, longs for Toya. Toya is the model whose heart is lifted by bodybuilder Ken, her personal trainer. The star of Ken's romantic drama is, you guessed it, Susan the thespian; the sexy circle is complete. Cupid's Mistake Written and directed by Young Man Kang Pioneer Opens August 24 The dialogue, which was wholly improvised, includes the "like"s, "uh"s, and general feeling of contrived spontaneity native to The Real World. The we're-friends-but-I-love-you scenes are either drenched with provocative sunlight or packed with candles; these techniques seem to be borrowed from the tamer selections of late-night Cinemax.

Cupid's Mistake: Young Man Kang's First Feature
spring 2001

FA Member Young Man Kang had directed over 50 commercials for the Asian television market when, in 1998, he quit his job to pursue filmmaking in the narrative format. Relying heavily on improvisation, Kang shot his first feature length film, Cupid's Mistake, on Betacam and Mini-DV. For a budget of 980 dollars. Cupid's Mistake first premiered at the New York City festival, Screen and Light, where it received a positive review from Film Threat. After that, the movie's distributor, Phaedra Cinema, contacted Laemmle's Sunset 5 in Los Angeles, where the movie opened last September. Kang says Cupid's Mistake's next stop is the Pioneer Theater in New York City, where it will play August, 2001. Though Phaedra is technically the distributor, it appears that Kang is still footing the bill for ads and shipping costs. In order to keep costs down, Kang has forgone newspaper ads and promoted his film on the internet and by word of mouth. He has also kept the movie alive on video, avoiding the costly blow up to film that starts around $40,000 and can reach as high as $100,000 and beyond. Kang says he works 50/50 box office deals with the theaters and rents his own video projection equipment that must be brought into the theater. So far, he says he is breaking even- which, it should be noted, is better than most Hollywood or independent movies do financially. As for Kang, he's already in post on his second feature, First Testament: CIA Vengeance, which he describes as an Asian-style La Femme Nikita.

Young Man Kang Exclusive Interview

Taking indie cinema to an extreme, Young Man Kang films his independent darling on an extreme shoestring budget of $980. How did he do it? Read to find out.

Thirty-four year old Korean writer and director Young Man Kang released his latest "Cupid's Mistake" last month.
Described as "one of the most delightful unseen gems in today's indie cinema," "Cupid's Mistake" is poignant look at a Los Angeles-based love quadrangle.
The film explores the agonies and ecstasies of romance.
Filmed on an extreme shoestring $980 budget, this cross-cultural comedy of missed passion and unexpected surprises provides a unique casting opportunity for Asian-American actors.
The impressive cast is led by the beautiful Toya Cho who portrays a model who can't decide between two suitors. Actor Ken Yasuda warms up the screen as the bodybuilder who is more focused on building his biceps instead of warming his heart.
At a time when the Asian-American presence in films is basically limited to martial arts chopping and token supporting role sidekicking, it is a wonder to experience this unique non-stereotypical big-screen presentation of this community.
"Cupid's Mistake" is a Phaedra film release, the same label which Wonsuk Chin (see ASTYLE Exclusive Interview with Wonsuk Chin) has released his critically acclaimed film "Too Tired To Die" starring ASTYLE Sex Symbol Takeshi Kaneshiro and Oscar award winning actress Mira Sorvino.
Young Man Kang took a moment to chat with ASTYLE about his work, the "business" and why Korean films are being shown at the local General Cinema Theater.
Young Man Kang talks about how the cinematic experience is being transformed with the advent of the Internet and what does that exactly mean for a working director.
He also shares the details of "Kumiho" which is one of his exciting new projects in pre-production. The story is about a 1000 year old fox with nine tails that is reincarnated as a woman who eats men's livers and is on a quest to become human. He spins the Korean legend with a modern day twist by giving life to "Kumiho" in Los Angeles.

Just two of the many questions:
ASTYLE: You did something basically unheard of which is to stick to a budget - not that you really had a budget. You had an extremely shoestring budget of $980. What did $980 exactly pay for?
Young Man Kang: (Laughs) I actually paid the four actors each $100. I also needed not only the actors, but their apartments as well. The payment included everything (laughs). Between the actors and the "sets," I only dropped $400. Fortunately, I already had a camera and editing equipment.
ASTYLE: Cupids Mistake probes the nuances of finding, keeping and losing love. Which of those three - finding, keeping or losing love - do you find the most difficult?
Young Man Kang: Everything. I focus on all three things in the movie. A lot of times many people, even me, are like, 'Oh I like her.' But in reality, she may be in love with 'him.' It's that 'she doesn't love me, but somebody else' thing. It's that Cupid is the one responsible for making the matches and sometimes, there can be mistakes. It's like real life.

YOUNG MAN KANG: CORRECTING CUPID'S MISTAKE
June, 25, 2000

Film Threat spoke with Young Man Kang about his film and the cross-cultural currents which permeates his work and outlook.

FILM THREAT: Korea has a vibrant film industry, but very few Korean films are shown in the West. In your professional opinion, what is keeping Korean films out of Western theaters?
YOUNG MAN KANG: I think that the reason is the U.S. distribution system. Korean films, as with other
