Game Over

Ian was a miserable teenager who never seemed to meet the expectations of his mom despite having decent grades. He plays a game to keep his mind off of his life and sees his game friends. One day after ignoring his mother's call, he plays his game only to realize his world is being attacked by an unknown monster. He focuses on fighting this monster while unknowingly his mother walks into his room. Ian gets severely injured but fights back and barely wins to save his friends. He realizes that he strangled his mother and regrets it until he sees his friends waiting for him on the other side of the screen. He reunites with his loved ones.

Director Statement

I am a Korean-American that grew up in South Korea, which was a society that pressures you to be better than anyone else. I decided to make this film to give insight of how parents can pressure their child and how it can break the child and make them do things that they might regret. This film means a lot to me because I met people around my age in South Korea going through the same problems and I want to let the world know how this pressure can be harmful to anyone spend their adolescence.
