Private Project

the little princess & her infinite prime gaps

Once upon a time, there was a little princess who lived in a place that wasn’t home. One day, she started an adventure to the edge of the world to rescue forgotten dreams. As she went, she delved deeper into the reality of the grown-ups’ world with broken memories, suffocated innocence & abandoned curiosity in abandoned places. She & they got mixed up inside the luggage compartment to here, there & the realm of nothingness. She found different versions of herself reaching for each other, drifting apart & walking side by side amid the chaos of those who didn’t want to grow up. She found herself trying to escape with her truest self to another place that wasn’t home.

Director Statement

For some reason, I couldn’t find my tribe at film school. I knew it’s really hard to make a film by myself, but at that time, I didn’t have any choice. At the beginning of making this film, I wasn’t so sure if I could make it. But I did all I could, step by step, with the help of friends & strangers who weren’t in my film circle. All I knew was to make something true to myself & deeply from my heart.

I approached cinema with the innocence of a little girl who hadn’t been to the movies. Where I grew up, the world was filled with noise that rushed children into adulthood & made them forget their dreams. There were prime numbers who were lonely with their odd thoughts & unanswered questions. I found myself wasn’t ready to grow up with my childish & uncertain dream.

I left to explore different versions of myself in this endless world & search for another place called home. I allowed my heart to be curious & naive to find my silly little treasure in the grown-ups’ world.

I found myself petty & useless when facing this huge & vague dream of making art. I struggled to sneak my little stories into the cinema world. After countless bruises, I wandered in complete darkness, holding my fragile dreams close. I asked myself:

Why do I make films?
What is cinema to me?
Who am I in this world?

I don’t know how to erase the world’s sadness or give the answers to everyone’s troubles in life. All I can do is to tell my little stories in the hope of helping other prime numbers feel less lonely & have faith in their unique journeys. The only thing I know is that the heart will always lead us to the right path.
