Quentin Lee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quentin Lee (b. 1971, Hong Kong) is a gay film writer and director. He is most notable for Ethan Mao (2004), Drift (2000), and Flow (1996).[1] Lee also co-directed Shopping For Fangs (1997) with Justin Lin, known for his controversial film Better Luck Tomorrow (2002).[2] Lee's films are noticeable for containing male lead characters who are Asian and gay, two minority groups generally not seen as lead characters in mainstream Hollywood films.
Born in Hong Kong, Lee immigrated to Montreal, Canada, when he was 16. He attended UC Berkeley, Yale University and UCLA for his B.A. in English, M.A. in English and M.F.A. in Film Directing respectively.
