Ji-young Boo

Boo graduated from Korean Academy of Film Arts. After that, she was the script supervisor on Lee Jae-yong's Untold Scandal in 2003. Then, she made her first feature film Sisters on the Road (2009). The film examined the thought and state of womanhood in modern South Korean society. Boo was invited to the Busan International Film Festival, International Women's Film Festival, and the Tokyo International Women's Film Festival to screen the film. Boo is best known for her film Cart (2014), based on a real events in South Korea. It was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. Boo was interested in the issues related to women and labourers in South Korea. She believes that the public should see women directors as equal to men directors, rather than categorizing women directors as "women's cinema" when they make films.
