Writer · Director · Composer
I am developing an original short film as its writer, director, and composer. The script is nearly complete, and I am now working on casting, locations, and visual planning.
River Haeun Lee
I work where film, music, people, and production meet. I like helping all the details behind a creative project come together.
How I work
Film production, sound, and the planning behind them.
Working as a filmmaker, composer, performer, and recording staff member has shown me how differently people can experience the same project. I listen closely, keep plans clear, and make sure everyone has what they need to do their part.

Director of Photography · Production and Screening Coordination
I worked closely with the director on the film's visual approach, shot composition, production schedule, and decisions on set.
After production, I helped plan the screening and was interviewed by SFCM about the project.

Behind the score
20+
musicians in one scoring session
For the orchestral recording, I contacted and coordinated more than half of the ensemble, tracked availability, and shared session details with performers and the production team. I also supported microphone placement, setup, and workflow, filmed the session, and helped create a behind-the-scenes video.

Assistant Director · Lead Actor ·Co-editor · Composer
I am working with the director and team on location and shot planning, filming, acting, editing, and the original score.
Working on both sides of the camera has made me more aware of how planning and communication affect a performer on set.

Running sessions from setup through the final take.
At SFCM Recording Services, I prepare studios and venues, run recording sessions, communicate with performers and faculty, and troubleshoot technical problems while keeping each session moving.

I know both sides of the glass.

Songwriter
Composer
As a singer, songwriter, and composer, I know what it feels like to perform while someone else is making technical decisions. That makes me attentive to the details musicians care about and to creating a session where they can stay focused and comfortable.
