Director Biography.
SEJON IM is a Korean-Australian Director based in Sydney. Early in his years, he had desired to be an engineer and musician; however, a newfound love for film rattled him to his core. Now with an assembly of works in ads and music videos, he hopes to create more energy-cranked films that invigorate emotions in people, such as disgust, warmth and love. WILL SUEN is left-handed. He was born in Maitland as the son of rural Chinese restaurant owners. His most prized possessions were bootleg Cantonese films on VHS. He began a career in filmmaking as the ultimate slashy, with professional credits across the spectrum of crew roles, including but not limited to Gaffer, Editor, and Standby Props. He eventually crawled up the credits list to direct commercials, music videos and short films. He's also the co-founder of Half Symbolic Films, a boutique film distributor most notably responsible for bringing the works of Masaaki Yuasa to cinemas across Australia.​​​​​​​
Director Statement.
Greasy, MSG laden, nasty Chinese take-away is universally known as the ultimate vice when craving for food. There's a common saying that the dirtier the Chinese restaurant, the tastier the food; it serves as a true test of its authenticity. This is the catalyst for the world of Sweet Juices: dangerously fun, with wildly questionable morality, and where juicy squirting dumplings have the power to raise the bar of corruption to hyperbolic heights. Sweet Juices transforms Sydney, the grand nanny state, into a highly stylised world of primal chaos.
