  HELLO TAI TAI - Intelligence Online - Sook-Yin Lee
Lee adds that she discovered yet another aspect of herself in Alessa, whose shame that her parents, immigrants from southeast Asia, run a convenience store fuels her desire to become somebody else.
But though Lee now realizes just how much she differs from her cartoonish TV image, she says she still meets people who expect the two to be identical, and are disappointed to learn otherwise.
Lee is currently in a "state of flux," trying to figure out her next career move.

 Sook-Yin Lee's film debut definitely not CBC fare
Fear of sex is at the root of many problems that aren't directly connected to sex," he told reporters, adding that there is more violence in "erotophobic" countries.
He quoted Yoko Ono, who wrote a letter to CBC supporting Lee, which read, "If people were having better sex there would be less war."
The movie -- which was developed in workshops among actors who improvised scenes -- includes heterosexual couples seeking connections, homosexual couples looking for love, and even some threesomes; in one case, three gay men in a menage-a-trois stop to sing the American national anthem.

  Eye Weekly - Sook-Yin lee - 12.08.05
Lee appears to be a master of such moments.
Which is not to say that Lee doesn't want to draw attention to the fraught milieu into which she journeyed: part of the proceeds from the festival will go to grassroots, Senegal-based NGOs Solutions Direct and KEO.
For Lee, a notable exception to this disparity is Kensington Market, her own neighbourhood and the locale she's chosen for the festival.

 Unclothed and Uninhibited, UCLA International Institute
Lee is raw and captivating as her on-screen alter ego, and her convincingly awkward performance likely stems from the actress’ personal experiences as a self-proclaimed “nerdy outsider” in Canada.
Up next, Lee plans to focus on her first feature movie Year of the Carnivore and finish up her new album Lovebolt, a collection of what she calls “my version of a catchy song.” Lee is a bona fide multi-hyphenate, who always seems to have more art brewing up her sleeve.
SYL: In the very beginning, on a theoretical level, I was so excited about the project as an artist, but when it came down to it, it was very anxiety-filled for me. There are many different difficult passages that I had to work through.

 January 15, 2004 - CBC showing its age in Sook-Yin Lee tempest by Russell Smith
As Gayle MacDonald reported in yesterday's Globe, Lee wanted to act in a movie by art-film director John Cameron Mitchell, and Chalmers told her she couldn't, because the film involved nudity and a lot of sexual oddity, and such an appearance would bring disrepute on the venerable corporation.
Lee, of course, like anyone who takes the Queen's shilling and accepts a high-paying, public job, has a clause in her contract that requires her to ask permission for outside projects.
But Lee seems to be regretting the e-mail, as she asked me not to quote from it as it would jeopardize her position in these negotiations -- so obviously she's not so keen on quitting any more.

 Sook-Yin Lee stars in highly sexual movie Short Bus   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sook-Yin Lee, former Much Music Vee-Jay and CBC radio host of Definitely Not the Opera is taking a step on the wilder side with her new role in Shortbus.
I used to work at a movie theater and it was my secret pleasure to recommend movies like this one to little old ladies or couples in their mid-forties (my favorite was getting a minister and his wife to see Transamerica,"it's a disfunctional family road trip movie with a twist").
I love Sook-Yin Lee as a radio personality and besides the trailer looking great there is also the factor of the director: John Cameron Mitchell, who you may remember directed, wrote and starred in the cult classic musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a spectacular alternative indi film.

 Sarah Polley, Beau Bridges, and Sook-Yin Lee on the actor-director relationship
Sook-Yin Lee talked about her role in Shortbus, which has created controversy with its orgiastic scenes of unsimulated sex.
If a scene is falling flat Lee suggested that the director "throw in a zinger." Letting the actor in on a secret at an opportune moment, or creating something that they hadn't anticipated, can bring a scene to life.
Lee cited one intimate scene between herself and another actor during the shoot in Shortbus, which was repeatedly falling flat.

For Lee, the current host of the CBC pop-culture showcase Definitely Not the Opera, that somewhere was suburban Vancouver in the early ’70s.
On the hunt for new avenues of expression, Lee chose to spend an entire summer walking around downtown Vancouver dressed as a 10-foot-high egg noodle, “just to see what the reaction would be.” A producer friend looking to pitch CityTV boss Moses Znaimer decided to feature Lee in his audition tape.
As an example, Lee’s editing of her latest short film is informed by her musical experiences with tempo and rhythm.

Helen Lee: Well, the producer of it, Anita [Lee], and I are friends and she approached me with the idea of doing a romantic comedy, though with non-white leads.
That appealed to me, actually, to do something new with the genre and also to work with Adam again and Sook Yin — I admired her work for years, we've known each other [for years].

He replied that he certainly did unless evidence otherwise came to his attention, for instance that a woman was, say, truly sexually loose.
Ms Lee ragged him about this for some time (what a hoot) knowing full well that the fellow did not know this: "Sook-Yin Lee Funny Porn Movie Shortbus".

 Our Public Airwaves - Success makes sexy Sook-Yin flick okay
In early 2004, facing a high-profile campaign by artists that included Yoko Ono, David Cronenberg and Francis Ford Coppola, reluctant CBC executives permitted Lee to participate in the film, in which she plays a married Manhattan couples counsellor who seeks to achieve her first orgasm through participation in a secret sex salon where anything goes.
All of which, Lee says, has her bosses recognizing that the release of Shortbus will not bring about the Apocalypse.
Today, Lee is off to the Sarajevo Film Festival with the movie, her last promotional trip before she returns to her hosting duties at Definitely Not the Opera.

 Sex on screen: Porn or art?
Los Angeles, California -- When a longtime married couple bounces all over the bed in every imaginable position in "Shortbus," or when a particularly limber character bends into a yoga pose that proves he, um, never has to leave the house, that's all real sex, not simulated.
Unlike in porn, the sex in "Shortbus" and other recent films featuring actors in the act ("9 Songs," "The Brown Bunny") is injected as a means of character exploration.
We learn that despite her creativity in the bedroom, the wife in the married couple (Sook-Yin Lee) is incapable of having an orgasm; even more ironically, she works as a sex therapist.
