During our research into The Rose: Come Back to Me Documentary we had the absolute pleasure of talking to two geniuses behind the scenes. Producer extraordinaire Diane Quon and mastermind Director and Screenwriter Euguene Yi.

Quonco Productions was founded in 2016 by Diane Quon. Previously a Marketing Executive at NBC and Paramount Pictures, Diane began her foray into documentary making in 2015 and never looked back. Producing such works as Minding the Gap (2018), Bad Axe (2022) and Wuhan Wuhan (2021); she very quickly found herself a recipient of the 2022 Cinereach Producer Award and an Oscar and Emmy nominee for her works. She is currently developing a fictional film based on the New York Times best seller ‘Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet’.

LA Native Eugene Yi began his career in 2004 as a grip and began his steady ascent to the Directors helm. With nearly fifty credits to his name Eugene has worked on such illustrious films as Free Chol Soo Lee (2022), The Reader (2008) and Margin Cell (2011). Emmy Nominated for Outstanding Business and Economic Documentary for American Reframed
