Quentin Lee

Quentin Lee made FLOW (1993), SHOPPING FOR FANGS (1997) and will be making DRIFT early 2000, funded by the Canada Council that previously funded Atom Egoyan and David Cronenberg's early works.

Quentin Lee When I was six years old, I was in Hong Kong and I used my dad's camera to make my first "supernatural slasher" Super8 film called THE ROAD about two kids who walked down a desolate road and met two demons. Inspired by FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D, I started making Super8 slasher films at 12. My most ambitious one remains my 5-reel Super8 slasher flick that I couldn't finish due to poor special effects, including a failed decapitation scene in the bathroom where I (also an actor) was supposed to be taking a bath and the killer used a metal saw to saw off my head. The fake head was made with a doll's head covered with a wig that I spray painted black.
