Lee Chatametikool has worked as a film editor and post-production producer in New York and Bangkok alongside producing his own films.
His short film, ‘Miami Strips, Hollywood Dream’, was runner-up for the Ratana Pestanji Award for Best Thai Short Film in 2000 and has screened at numerous festivals worldwide, including the Oberhausen Short Film Festival and the Busan Asian Short Film Festival.
In 2001, Lee moved back to Bangkok from New York to work on Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s first narrative feature film, ‘Blissfully Yours’. He has since worked alongside a new crop of young filmmakers in Thailand, editing the debut features for many up and coming directors.
In 2007, he won the Best Editor award for ‘Syndromes and a Century’ at the inaugural Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. The Bangkok Film Critic’s Assembly awarded him for his work on ‘Wonderful Town’ in 2008. Most recently, he won Best Editor for the second time from the 2010 Asian Film Awards for his work on ‘Karaoke’.
He is currently directing his first feature film, ‘Concrete Clouds’.
