Margin Films is filmmaker Quentin Lee's production company. Its current focus is to develop original features written and directed by Quentin Lee. The company is currently in development for its next film "Campus Ghost Story." It is also in post-production for a feature titled "Ethan Mao" which is due out in film festivals this fall.
 
Margin had its humble beginning on the set of "Flow," which is a feature collection of short films that Quentin wrote, produced and directed at UCLA Film School. Quentin packaged his student shorts as a feature about a fictional filmmaker's exploratory journey in filmmaking and his experiments in different genres from abstract experimental to conventional narrative. "Flow" had its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival in 1995 and went on to play a variety of domestic and international film festivals. Margin released "Flow" in 2000 in Los Angeles and San Francisco, garnering critical acclaim from the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly and Frontiers Magazine.
 
After "Shopping for Fangs," Quentin teamed up with his UCLA film school colleague Justin Lin to make "Shopping for Fangs." He simultaneously developed two stories with Justin, one to be directed by him and the other by Justin. Both stories were meant to portray a new vision about their generation of Asian North Americans. While "Shopping for Fangs" was designed to be a genre-hopping comedy/thriller with unexpected twists and turns, its particular use of Asian American actors and context was intended to add an extra layer over its wildy original storytelling. Premiering at the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival and internationally at the Toronto International Film Festival, "Shopping for Fangs" was received as a controversial vision that is markedly different from the previous crop of Asian American films. Margin released "Fangs" in 1999 to strong reviews nationwide. While "Fangs" was a mixed success, it propelled both Quentin and Justin's career as filmmakers. It was also hailed as one of the most original and different Asian American film.
 
After "Fangs," Quentin went on to make "Drift," a return to the kind of "personal" cinema which began with "Flow." "Drift" was shot on DV, transferred to 35mm for exhibition and world premiered at the San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival to a raving festival audience. "Drift" opened theatrically to critical acclaim in Los Angeles in 2002, winning kudos from both the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly and Filmthreat. Margin sold "Drift" to the reputed art house film distributor Wellspring Media.
