Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1997, Quentin Lee's first feature Shopping for Fangs opened to critical acclaim during its limited theatrical release in the U.S. Lee wrote, co-directed (with Justin Lin), produced and self-distributed Shopping for Fangs through Margin Films, a company he founded in 1997. Following the buzz of Fangs, Lee wrote and directed Drift, a drama that became a hit on the gay and lesbian film festival circuit and was sold to Wellspring Media. It was also released theatrically to strong reviews in Los Angeles. Praised as a "perceptive illumination of Asian American life... at once a tender love story and a psychological suspense drama," Ethan Mao, Lee's third feature as a writer/director, had its world premiered at AFI Fest and sold to many territories, winning the Audience Award at the Torino Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Quentin's fourth feature The People I've Slept With, a sex comedy and festival hit, was sold to Viacom's Logo and Maya Entertainment. Fortissimo Films and Preferred Content are distributing Quentin's latest feature White Frog, an emotional teen drama, starring Twlight's Booboo Stewart, Law and Order SVU's BD Wong, Glee's Harry Shum Jr., The Last Emperor's Joan Chen, Wizard of Waverly Place's Gregg Sulkin and Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey. Born and raised in Hong Kong, he went to high school in Montréal and holds a B.A. in English from UC Berkeley, an M.A. in English from Yale University, and an M.F.A. in Film Directing from UCLA.
