Samantha Culp

Samantha Culp followed her love of Wong Kar-Wai movies to Hong Kong after college, and currently teaches there at a university near the 10,000 Buddhas Monastery. Apparently there are monkeys living on campus but she has yet to see one. Her Cantonese is still very bad but she recently managed to discourage a cellphone stalker from calling back by telling him: "Gingchaak wuih jouh yeh ge la!" ("The police will do something!") and was pretty psyched about that. When not grading papers or traveling, Samantha writes on art and culture for two Hong Kong newspapers and American magazines (NY Arts, The Blow-Up, The Fader), and is also working on a short film set in the future.
