The Present

A young crow grows old and secures its old mom some prey. A child that has reached her forties gives her parents a journey together as a present. A little bird that finds itself humble, facing the love of its parenting birds towards it within the ways of nature and animals that surround them. An ode for all mom and dads in the world who accept their children as they are, because they are pleased by their children acting as who they are naturally, even when their children are lacking and falling short striving to pay their parents back for what they've been given.

Director Biography - So-hyun Han

A person who dreamed of becoming a movie director from her school years. She came to be fond of Germany, studied German, and drifted away to the country with the intention of studying the cinemas there.
With the notion that only experience can touch the hearts of others, and in order to write out of experience, she became fearless, not in fear of the judgments of others towards her, not shying away from daunting jobs such as working at a red ginseng factory, an agricultural & seafood market, and working as a care worker.
She majored in the cinemas, theology, and social welfare. She’s still thirsty for knowledge and learning, and envisions various plans inside her heart, being heart-ached.
She is greatly interested in the theme of the end of the world, and is marching in silence towards this very path to cinematizing the very day of the end of this world.
She knows enough what ignorance is, and is a person in agony to live in good and right ways, so as to become a person who is not ashamed of her own self.

Director Statement

I studied filmmaking in college, and I have experience in directing long and short films, but I felt that I needed more ease with the physical tools I was using when making a film. I purchased a smartphone focusing on the function of the very equipment, and I am pleased to be completing my work <The Present> towards sharing with audience. I am intending to continue my experiment on the scope of imagination that a smartphone can provide us.
