NGUYÊN LÊ (’16)

Since graduation, I’m still writing, and still about cinema. You can check out my portfolio here: https://reel318.wordpress.com/portfolio/ And besides the usual critique, I’m also into screenwriting, my feature-length debut (as co-writer) is in development and you can read a bit about it here: https://vietcetera.com/en/portrait-of-a-misty-sun-and-the-dream-of-an-untold-indochina

On top of that, I’ve also been a subtitler, specifically making English subtitles for Vietnamese productions. You can check out projects I’ve been involved with here (highlights among them include the popular horror series Hellbound Village and Victor Vu’s The Last Wife): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm15790786/. I’ve also been interviewed here: https://vietcetera.com/en/for-better-subtitles-imagine-tom-cruise-as-a-vietnamese

I’ve also translated for film industry figures at events, for young filmmakers hoping to bring their talents abroad or for international filmmakers (Catherine Nguyen of “White Butterfly” or Kim Jee-Woon, with the assistance of a Korean to Vietnamese translator).
