Kayleb Lee received his start in film as a Marine Combat Videographer and Photographer. His background began with a diaspora family escaping genocide and raising a first generation Southeast Asian family in America. During the genocide, any and all artists, educators, and politicians were massacred therefore the arts are taboo in his family. Years of latent discovery and hiding poetry, drawings, LimeWire Anime music video edits, breakdancing crews, and hacked softwares on a donated HP PC, he unknowingly built a creative arsenal. In order to escape poverty, he joined the Marines and had pursued engineering and mechanics. In order to find emotional and mental freedom, he continued to be an artist. Then one day, after a four hour conversation in the Afghanistan desert, he was mentored to leave the service, go to school, and pursue Hollywood.
