Director’s Statement – Karen Lam

Human violence is an important theme that runs through my work: I’m fascinated by what triggers the most extreme forms of human reaction.

Watch the Audience Feedback Video of THE GOOD BOY:

THE GOOD BOY is the WILDsound Film Festival winner for Best Film in 2015.

Matthew Toffolo interviews director Alice L. Lee:

Matthew: What motivated you to make this film?

Alice: the good boy is a scene from a feature length screenplay I wrote several years ago when I was a student in the Film Division at Columbia University. It was based on a short story, The Legend of Pig-Eye, by Rick Bass, that I had the rights to, but the film never got made. One baby and many years later, I decided to get back into filmmaking by shooting a short film. I tried to take a scene from the feature, but I ended up having to rewrite the scene completely so it could be a stand-alone film.

While writing the feature script, I did some research on boxing and it…
