Directing should be\njudged calmly and coldly in this part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directing is not a computer programmer who\ncan create anything he wants, but must devote all his energy to the process of\ncommunicating and creating an actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What the actor speaks and expresses should\ngive the director another, new motivation and stimulation for the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the director get new a cinematic goal\nthrough dialogue with the actor, he must cast it immediately.

I salute\nthe actor &#8216;Se-mi Lim&#8217; who went through this rough process and solved it nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director just needs to talk about his\nthoughts and wants.

We talked while drinking until 7 o&#8217;clock that morning.\nIt was like a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was just happy to cast a great actor, but\nhe was bitter as to whether appearing in this short film could be take away the\nchances of his juniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I salute the great actor &#8221; Kim Roi-ha&#8221;,\nwho played like the protagonist of a silent movie without a single line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casting him could have been too much greed\nfor me, but I couldn&#8217;t never give up as a director, and he&#8217;s a great actor like\nsome director&#8217;s &#8220;William Defoe&#8221; to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I would like to express my gratitude\nto actors &#8220;Kim Na-yoon&#8221;, &#8220;Hwang Doo-ha&#8221;, and\n&#8220;Ahn-Hyun&#8221;, including the leading actors &#8220;Lim Se-mi&#8221;, who\nhave further amplified and conveyed the film&#8217;s story and emotions to overseas\npeople beyond subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The actors &#8220;Kim Na-yoon&#8221;,\n&#8220;Hwang Doo-ha&#8221;, and &#8220;Ahn-Hyun&#8221; were able to grasp my\nintentions more intensely and accurately than any other leading actors, even\nthough they only appeared in voices in the movie, and the result was a sharp\nstab in the hearts of the audience and succeeded in leaving a lot of thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I respect all actors of &lt;First Day&gt;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My casting and judgment were not wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to the actors who believed in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>NY Glam:<\/strong> <strong>What was the most important lesson you had to learn that\nhas had a positive effect on your film?

As a filmmaker in\nKorea, I am very sorry for this part, and I have a lot of troubles myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why this work was so meaningful to\nme, and now it feels so good to communicate with people in New York&#8217;s film\nindustry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted it so much, and I was very curious\nabout how my cinematic thoughts, approaches, and storytelling would be conveyed\nnot only to people in Korea but also overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important topic in my cinematic\napproach is <strong>&#8216;the irony of life&#8217;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We live without great discomfort even\nthough we have contradicted ourselves now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As life in the city develops, this\ncontradictory life is forced and sometimes pressured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing in this part is\nthat no one forces or pressures to you. All the choices and proceedings are\neven more terrifying and terrifying because it is your own will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The areas of life that we have called \u201cblind spots\u201d and have been removed to our\nsight are frequently encountered in the center of our lives, and we are very\npainful now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in that dark time and situation, we\nhide his pain and sorrow and lives the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only then can you survive in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You brainwash yourself today too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These thoughts of me may be because I, who\nare from the countryside, and I, who live in a hot and busy city, feel the\nfeeling of changing day by day to match the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to make a movie that gives you time\nto think about what we should never miss even if we become zombies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that the true function of the\nmovie is that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>NY Glam:<\/strong> <strong>What has been your personal key to success?
