Director Statement

I am a 3D animator and illustrator, and my work is made to tell a story. The animations that I make have sad, heart wrenching elements to them, so I want the audience to truly feel for the character that is hurting. My latest film, “Heart in Seoul” is an example of that. The main character, Jae-ho, is a robot that wakes up with memory loss in a post apocalyptic Seoul, South Korea. He then finds a picture of his creators and sets out to find them. With the virtual tools given, I aim to create cinematic scenes that are eye catching and intrigue the audience, while having significance to the story being told.
