EDMUND LEE
Writer. Once talked my way in to a locked down Columbia University campus for a story, and a gangster once bought me lunch, came clean. Now at Bloomberg/ Businessweek, covering media, namely News Corp., Viacom, Time Warner, New York Times Co., Washington Post Co., and others (here, my media feed). Used to fiddle at Ad Age, covering all things digital. Also written for the Village Voice, the New York Times, W Magazine, Portfolio, Vibe, and elsewhere. Wrote a movie once that got made and showed at Tribeca. Screenwriting is a tease; not for the faint. Below, some of my words.

ABOUT West 32nd:
When John Kim, an ambitious young lawyer, takes on a pro bono case to exonerate a fourteen-year-old boy from a first degree murder charge, he finds a world he never knew existed in the underbelly of Manhattan - the Korean underworld. Infiltrating the knotty and complex realm of Korean organized crime to search for clues, he meets his match, Mike Juhn, a rising soldier in the syndicate. Recognizing John's determination and daring, Mike brings John into his confidence, furtively drawing him into his scheme to re-shuffle the Korean underworld. Though they become fast friends, they just as quickly end up trying to outfox each other as they discover they'll both do anything to win.
