Wye Keen Wong
Inspired to pursue almost every occupation featured in a film during his early childhood – from astronaut, pilot, submariner to historian and genetic engineer – Wye Keen eventually decided to tackle the very element that inspired him to such pursuits: cinema – the illusion of light and sound. Wye Keen is currently completing an Honours year, in which he is undertaking research into Asian-Australian filmmaking/visual media practice. Research interests include identity and cultural politics as mediated through the media, transnational popular cultural flows, and new media’s impact on traditional media. Having graduated from RMIT in 2008 with a Bachelor of Communication (Media), he is seeking out ways to exercise his creative mind. Is intending on further developing a project exploring Asian ANZACS in WW1 after honours. Would really love to work in Film, but anything to do with video/film would be awesome. Working overseas, particularly Asia and/ Europe is another ambition.
