The film is being made for Prime Video by This Machine, which says it will be “chronicling the enthralling life of a bold visionary whose work put his country on the map, sparked a global movement, and continues to define an era … A futurist and visionary on the scale of Steve Jobs, Lee is more than a music impresario. He is a world-builder and a technologist whose original creation has taken over global entertainment, one K-Pop band at a time.”
Ting Poo, who directed the Oscar-winning Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405, is also known for Val, a 2021 documentary about actor Val Kilmer. In announcing news about the Lee Soo-Man project, she was quoted as saying, “I couldn’t be more excited to work with the incredible teams at Prime Video and This Machine to tell the story of one of the most influential creators of our time. Lee Soo-Man is a modern-day Willy Wonka whose story will resonate with dreamers everywhere.”
Her enthusiasm was echoed by Brianna Oh, head of documentary features at Amazon Studios who said, “We are thrilled to reunite with Ting Poo to capture Lee Soo-Man’s dynamic career and undeniable influence on K-Pop and the music industry as a whole. We are confident this incredibly talented filmmaking team will deliver an emotional and compelling documentary that our Prime Video customers around the world will fall in love with.
