Yim Pil-sung Biography

Yim Pil-sung is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on May 13, 1972 in Seoul, South Korea. Yim Pil-sung, a South Korean screenwriter and film director, was born May 13, 1972. He directed the films Antarctic Journal (2006), Hansel and Gretel (2008), and Scarlet Innocence (2014).

As co-directors, Yim and Kim Jeewoon began filming Doomsday Book in 2007. Production was halted by financing issues. It resumed in 2010 and was released in 2012. Yim directed and wrote two of the three segments. The first segment, A Brave New World, is a black comedy about a zombie invasion resulting from contaminated meat. Jin Ji-hee stars in Happy Birthday. It is about a family hiding underground as an 8-Ball-shaped Asteroid destroys humanity. Doomsday Book won top prize at 16th Fantasia Festival and the Cheval Noir Award to Best Film.

Yim had next planned to direct a suspense drama about a married American expat who falls for a Korean femme fatale. Titled Flower of Evil, it entered pre- production in 2009 but was eventually shelved. Weekend Prince, a comedy about three men in their thirties who get roaring drunk one weekend (which had Park Hae-il and Song Sae-byeok attached), similarly did not come to fruition.

In 2010, twelve Korean directors and cinematographers shot short films using the iPhone 4 for the iPhone 4 Film Festival (later renamed the Olleh Smartphone Film Festival). Yim’s short Super Nerds: No Pain No Gain is a comedy about two die-hard iPhone fans and their journey to find someone who can attach a protective film to their newly purchased iPhones without causing air bubbles to form (in the Korean title Super Deokhu, “deokhu” originates from the Japanese word “otaku”).

Yim was then a supporting character in Bong Joonho’s monster film The Host (2006). He played the role of a white-collar worker who swore revenge on his college friend. In exchange for Bong writing the screenplay to Antarctic Journal, he agreed to appear in this film.
