-Q1\u3000Comment on Award Winning<\/p>\n

I am very grateful for wining this audience award.
\nFilm is a popular art form for the masses. I\u2019d be happy if this win wasn\u2019t because of my name though! I\u2019ve currently been working on my PhD in theater. I would like to put in a steady effort into making a good film which I could submit to SSFF & ASIA again. If it happens, I wonder if I\u2019d win another award?<\/p>\n

-Q2\u3000What\u2019s the highlight of your film?<\/p>\n

Actually, while we were making this film, we cut many scenes since we didn\u2019t have enough time and budget. I watched it after it was completed, and I thought that we\u2019d have a better story if we didn\u2019t cut any of the scenes, and it could\u2019ve made a bigger impression on the audience.
\nThe father is on his deathbed and the son is trying to get the PIN to his father\u2019s bank account. To watch over his dying father or to choose the money? Many people probably face this kind of choice nowadays, and this was my way to express the problem in a dramatic way. The highlight of this film is how the mentality of the main character keeps suddenly changing in a short time while he\u2019s in the hospital. The PIN code for the bank account is a Korean homonym, so I was worried that the audiences wouldn\u2019t understand it. I\u2019m not sure if the subtitles in this film explain the last scene well.<\/p>\n

-Q3 Why did you decide to submit your film to SSFF & ASIA?<\/p>\n

If I compare film festivals to food, I would say that they are not like restaurants that just serve the same food from a menu everyday. Film festivals are more like buffets, usually held once a year where many kinds of customers attend from several countries to sample many different types of food. They enjoy, evaluate and discuss about our \u201cfood.\u201d This is the best opportunity to compare my \u201cfood\u201d to others. I think every filmmaker would want to come to this kind of place.<\/p>\n

-Q4\u3000What is the purpose of submmitting your film to film festivals?<\/p>\n

Most of all, I would like to show my appreciation to everyone involved in this festival. I know that they prepared special events for my fans. All the effort you put in is really what makes SSFF & ASIA awesome. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5095,"parent":0,"template":"","e_news_cat":[548],"class_list":["post-8350","news_en","type-news_en","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","e_news_cat-event"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en\/8350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_en"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"e_news_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shortshorts.org\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/e_news_cat?post=8350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
