Regina Kim is a film & TV writer from the Bay Area, where she graduated from UC Berkeley as an English major and a Creative Writing minor. She briefly sold her soul to Corporate America, during which she wrote and directed THE LAST CLIENT, a sci-fi web series, that has screened in film festivals across the country, before moving to LA, where she completed the Professional Program in Screenwriting at UCLA and earned her MFA in Screenwriting at UCLA.
Regina primarily writes in the horror genre and loves finding new ways to scare the modern audience. Her writing explores the dichotomy between not only Western and Korean cultures but also the tangible and spiritual worlds, and how Asian Americans exist within them. Her horror TV pilot about sleep paralysis, INCUBUS, is on the 2019 BloodList. Informed by historical and contemporary anti-Asian violence, Regina gravitates toward narratives that recenter the AAPI experience and respond to the urgent need for Asian American presence in media representations. Her scripts incorporate perspectives that exemplify the multiplicity of the AAPI community. Over the pandemic, Regina co-founded the API Horror Screenwriters Group, which meets online monthly and continues to provide a space for API genre writers to support each other through the industry. She currently resides in Los Angeles and speaks fluent Korean. Her favorite season is baseball season. |
