Hyejin “Grace” Park is a Los Angeles–based film director, screenwriter, and editor whose work blends emotional realism with science fiction, magical realism, surrealism, and dark comedy. Born in South Korea and raised between South Korea and New Zealand, she is drawn to fish-out-of-water stories that explore identity, resilience, adaptation, and the search for belonging.

Park holds a BFA in Film and Animation from Konkuk University and an MFA in Film and Television Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Her experience spans narrative film, episodic storytelling, commercials, and music videos, including work within the advertising industry that sharpened her visual storytelling and audience-focused approach.

Over the past 13 years, Park has written and directed 26 short films and 15 vertical series. She currently serves as an in-house director at DramaBox and has directed projects for leading global short-form platforms including ReelShort, GoodShort, DramaWave, and DreameShorts. She also co-directed the feature film A Jack & Lou: Gangster Love Story (2025).

Her work has received recognition from USC First Look, LA Shorts International Film Festival, Rhode Island International Film Festival, and the Toronto Independent Film Festival of CIFT. Her sci-fi mockumentary Comet Orphan (2025) was presented at the Cannes Short Film Corner as part of the Marché du Film and screened at HollyShorts Film Festival.

Across formats and genres, Park creates imaginative, heightened worlds grounded in vulnerable and deeply human characters. She is currently developing two original projects, including the darkly comedic sci-fi feature Not Your Meal and Time Proof, continuing her exploration of outsiders navigating strange worlds—and discovering unexpected ways to belong.
