Director Statement

I decided to become the director of this film because ever since my school days, I dreamed of working with musicians and was always interested in the music industry. In October 2023, I met a musician named Bek and found out that we share similar values: we are both around 20-21 years old and think alike. For example, all his projects are similar to mine, but in the music sphere, while mine are in the media (film) sphere. At that moment, I realized he should become the hero of my film.

When watching this film, I wanted the audience to be inspired by the character and his story. Through the lens of my protagonist, I aimed to portray the profession of composer and musician so that viewers could understand what it's really like to be a composer.
