Aurélien Lainé
Writer/Director & Video Editor
I’m a Seoul based writer, director and video editor with a passion for stories, magical worlds and believable characters. I studied creative writing in Auckland, New Zealand, and I have written, directed and produced dozens of narrative work in both written and video forms. I simply love writing and exploring all sorts of media, and pushing the limits of what I know in order to learn and fuel my creative ideas.
