Boram Kang

Boram began her career in the coffee industry, working her way up from barista to manager at Coffee Harbor, a small coffee chain in South Korea. Eventually, she was promoted to work at company headquarters, rising up in the ranks until becoming the head of operations at the young age of 27. Unhappy with her nine-to-five job and with a portfolio of art projects she accumulated in her spare time, Boram moved on to work as a graphic designer at Emu Art Center in Seoul where she was eventually promoted to gallery curator.

In 2016, she worked as a production coordinator for two post-production houses based in Seoul, eventually moving on to produce projects of her own. Since 2017, her films, including Pepper (2018) and Georgia (2020) have garnered much acclaim at many film festivals including Busan and Jeonju as well as receiving several grants from prominent organizations like the Korean Film Council.

In her spare time, she enjoys painting dogs and cats at her local animal shelter where she frequently volunteers. @thisisboram
