Jennifer Kim in Rammy’s movie, The Homecoming Queen. Unlike most kids, Rammy Lee Park didn’t catch the movie bug through vacations spent devouring Hollywood classics. It was while helping out on a friend’s music-video shoot that the Denver-native, then an out-of-college journalist, realized that the moving image lent itself to the kind of narratives she wanted to put out. “I’m interested in stories that I feel haven’t been told in a specific way,” she explains. “I want to address questions that aren’t really out there, but that I think people need to think about in this world.” Falling hard for her newly found passion, she enrolled herself in Columbia’s grad school film program, earning an MFA in May 2011. That’s also when her uncle approached her about the possibilities of a jewelry line—Wanderluster!—which provides a second creative outlet. Here, Rammy shows off her motion-picture chops. —jiayi ying Rammy’s directorial reel, with clips from her film, The Homecoming Queen, the upcoming Meet Lenny, Meet Caroline—“a dark comedy about Asian fetishisms and self-perception”—and her stop-motion work for Gilt Taste. Her most recent film, The Homecoming Queen. Check out the stunning (and multi-functional) piece of jewelry Rammy designed just for us! 

When Rammy Lee Park started her jewelry line in June 2011, the name Wanderluster came almost instantly. A hardcore traveler, Rammy wanted her architectural, attitudinal pieces to embody the same sense of adventure that the word wanderlust (and she!) does. And these days, like most everybody, she logs her journeys via Instagram (handle: @xwanderluster). These are some of her most recent worth-a-pic moments. —jiayi ying Rammy made us a necklace (that transforms into a bracelet!) inspired by these travels—check it out, pronto.  TRAVEL CHARMS“I never go anywhere without this antique porcelain elephant and blue heart—both were given to me by my boyfriend.” PACKING“I try to pack in a way that helps me get through security as quickly as possible. These are my go-to bags for trips under five days long. The larger one is Stella McCartney for LeSportsac from years ago, and I’ve taken it to Ireland, Istanbul, Iceland, and so on.” REYKJAVIK“Iceland! I went to celebrate my birthday, and it was one of my most memorable trips. I spent most of my time there with my eyes agog at the natural yet surreal beauty of the land and the elegance and simplicity of the architecture. As a result, my fall/winter 2013 collection is going to be all about Iceland.” COLORADO SUN“This was taken on Father’s Day, when my parents and I went boating on a lake in the Rocky Mountains. I’m from Denver, but I never appreciated the mountains until after I moved to New York twelve years ago. Now, I try to explore them every time I’m home.” SAN FRANCISCO“I’ve been spending a lot of time in SF lately, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite American cities. I never actually visited as an adult until last year, and since then, I’ve gone four or five times. I’ve been ceaselessly charmed by the riotous colors, the Victorian homes, and the way the streets slope.” NEW YORK CITY “I love moments in the city when I feel transported to another place. Here’s this magical little oasis in midtown. #wanderlocally” WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE“This is going to make it into a bangle soon. I’m not sure when my NYC-inspired collection will come out, but it can’t be avoided—it’s my home.”
