hello. my name is kayleb lee. 

i am a film director, artist, and human being. my background? a background. brown skin. first-gen american. southeast asian. combat veteran.

The work and art I create seeks to translate perspectives, spark empathy, challenge creativity, and at times, "cool". Being a background is being silenced in many forms and it is express... through years of poetry, stories... screenplays, paintings... photos, video editorial. These forms of art have domino'd towards directing it all together. A foreground for auteurship. Making projects that translates our human experiences.
