Director’s Statement
I wrote the screenplay for this film at the end of my sophomore year in high school, a period of time when I was nearly cynical of people in general. But knowing that this was bad for me, this film was a way for me to express my thoughts. Almost a year later, I got two other friends together to finally shoot the film after our exams and college applications were over. It was shot in areas of Seoul and Bugak Mountain throughout a course of about a week. Though it is not as good as I intended it to be, I hope the film still provokes thought into audiences who view it.
