Culture spectrums expand while I expose to other cultures and different life experiences. Engaging in a keyword of appreciating diverse cultures, meeting different people, learning different language molds a better version of myself. Keeping asking, keeping learning, and keeping curious makes why I am a filmmaker and I am different from others.
A curiosity of learning a new thing and thirst for creating art, writing, directing the film is my passion, devotion, and commitment. I am strong and yet weak. I cannot do this by myself because I am weak. And, I need a strong community whose values in creating art and believing film can inspire the community, society and the world.
STATEMENT OF ART:A curiosity of learning a new thing and thirst for creating art, writing, directing the film is my passion, devotion, and commitment. I am strong and yet weak. I cannot do this by myself because I am weak. And, I need a strong community whose values in creating art and believing film can inspire the community, society and the world.
Filmmaking is a tribute to time and memory. It involves magic-making if I have to choose between logic and magic. Filmmaking is also a way to homage to nature.
I am a writer and the director who is obsessed with German Expressionism visual look and Japanese Animation, and manga to create my own story and vision that transcends to a brand.
My project is a visual showcase of my obsession with German Expressionism and Japanese Manga. To create a consistent look for my project, I insist to shoot on film. The use of film consistently reminds me of how the creative process should be. Creativity has to born out of an original concept and the original concept harmonizes with nature.
The shooting on film is a way to appreciate and evaluate natural colors that underscore and understand an inner psyche of the characters that I create. Another reason I insist to shoot on film is this authentic esthetic and the depth of the thinking process will create my brand that nobody has.
Creating the original content that consists of multi-facet characters, culturally integrated between the Eastern and Western philosophy would distinguish me from other filmmakers.
Creating my story and the visual look, I use vivid colors. By usage of an intense and a series of vibrant color palettes, I create two different worlds that contribute a mirror image to each other; an inner mind of characters and an external realm where characters live in. These two worlds continue to explore my study and fascination with the subject matter of twins. I especially find a strong interest in the unique relationships between twins when they communicate with each other and how twins’ way of communication affects people around them.
I want to show and tell the story that contains multiple endings where it connects to various life experiences of the audience. Life has more than a one-dimensional perspective so does the film. The film is the manifestation of inspiration from the circle of nature and life.
To better understand and further discussion on twins, I illustrate my visual film language aligned with vibrant art movements from the Renaissance period to the Baroque period carrying out the theme of ambiguity in between reality and dream as well as a gender role. I also create uncanny camera angles, and with a provocative and original way of framing will explore my theme of creating a hyper-reality where distinctions between reality and dream blur. The purpose of presenting the hyper-reality generates and connects a psychological aspect of the characters' state of mind in mystery and psychological thriller genre of my film.
I find my core interest in writing and directing on the subject matter of the Human condition and apply the Satoshi Kon’s editing technique in time and space. The Human condition, I especially deal with the meaning of life and morality. When I create my story, the Human condition is challenged by a circumstance where a protagonist is situated. The protagonist can transform from evil to good or vice versa by choice.
Throughmy projects, I want to showcase my unique ability in writing where my creativity of writing meets both Western culture and Eastern philosophy.
I sincerely hope that my puzzling and sophisticated way of storytelling structure will strike the core idea of wonder and enhances a critical thinking process of the audience.
