Director Statement

War always haunted me everyday since the beginning. Therefore, I used tabletop role-playing games to escape the thoughts of it, creating my own worlds with my friends. This experience later transformed into my senior thesis project - "My Own World", that I'm proud to present to public in any festival that accepts the hard work of our team.
