Chances are given for the ones who seek for it.
or I think. Over the springbreak, I was given a long time to think about what I would do with my future as an artist or even as an art student for the next couple years. In the end, I decided to follow my long dreamed desire for making films. Then, the first week I came back from the spring break (which was this past week), I found out that there was going to be a Korean Film Festival at Odeon for a whole week starting on the 20th. When I dropped by Odeon to ask for more information, I realized that it was a bigger deal than I thought because the whole thing was sponsored by Samsung and all, and the directors and 'important' ppl were coming including one of the most repected director, Lee Chang-Dong.
On the big night, me and Felisha went for the opening night to see the film, since the reception beforehand was for 'the invited' only. However, it turned out that we also need invitations to watch the opening film. The first denial never holds me back, so I tried again to seek for a way around, and one of the staffs brought a fortune over us. She discretely handed one of the invitations to us so that we could get in. Finally, we both got in and watched the film, and the 'important' ppl as well. I rode the tangent line here a little bit, but the point is, that Lee Chang-Dong is coming to give a speech before his movie, Secret Sunshine (a sensational, deep movie) next tuesday, and I could actually be there to hear his words. Those words at this point of my life as an art student, who is trying to experiment with the path of life, will be inspirational, effective, and hopeful.
As far as my work goes, I'm opening up a couple options for myself, experimenting with different ways of filming and on different subject matters. But still, it is quite vague on exactly what I want to do. I'll see..as I seek for the chance.
Here are the photos I've taken this week (after the spring break), showing a couple effects I would possibly use in my film.
