Outside of filmmaking, Elizabeth has a passion for piano, Korean culture, and her friendships. Her main career goal is to become an independent filmmaker in South Korea.
“Goodbye” is a film born from my own tears and emotions. It is loosely based on my own experiences and from the experiences of my friends. Through the film, I wanted to create an emotionally raw experience about what it is like to struggle with suicide and grief. Each character shows the different perspectives surrounding suicide. Jackson, the warrior, who is unsure how to reach closure and inner peace. Jin, the spectator, who struggles to love someone who isn’t ready to be loved. And Courtney, the immortal, who also wanted peace and finalized her life.
“Goodbye” is my display of love to my close friends who have attempted suicide and have chosen otherwise. I dedicate this film to everyone who understands the battles of Jackson, Jin, and Courtney.
