Directed by Matte Chi
Shot on PXL2000 transferred to minDV, Approx 3min
Synopsis:
New Years Eve. Participants are repeatedly asked two questions: "Do you have any regrets?" "How many times do you wash your hands?" Participants repeat the question and answer it. The results are assembled and set to music.
"Waqt"
Directed by Hyunsuk Kim
Video, Approx 5 min.
Synopsis:
A story of a man defining his life metaphorically, struggling to exist, live and mean himself.
"Within Limits"
Directed by Eubin Kim
Digital Video, 12:08 min.
Synopsis:
Steve is searching for a sense of belonging in the world. School wasn't for him, and corporate America made him feel like an underachiever. The only place where he feels a sense of inclusion is the underworld of Koreatown, where outsiders have a sense of camraderie. But loyalties run deep, and uncontrolled, leads to violence. One night after an altercation, Steve finds himself too
deep in the scene. When Kyung Min unexpectedly shows up to "help" him out with his situation, the stakes are
heightened and he must make a decision that will change his life.
