Director Statement

This project is the result of my search for uniqueness rather than my interest in the drama genre. The story follows the inner journey of a child caught between "seeing" and "believing." In terms of visual language, I aimed to create a chilling atmosphere, while the sound design served as a tool to make the unreal feel tangible.

Among my characters, one does not believe in spiritual and supernatural forces, while the other believes in the evil eye; this contrast forms the core conflict of the film. This is my first directorial experience, and throughout the process, I made many mistakes. However, each of them provided me with valuable lessons.
