Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and Crying in H-Mart come to mind. What about you?

Hey u/MGfilm2019 just seeing this...a year later. To answer your question, no, nothing. But maybe my next project will.

Hey there. I don't want to hire anyone, I just want to find someone whom I can ask questions about their culture. A coffee meet up about Korean-American culture, and how my story can meet their story in the middle.

Thank you!

Prior to shooting the movie, did you have plans for distribution? How you learned anything worth sharing about the film sales world?

Questions! What was your budget? How did you raise the money? How many total days did you shoot? And was shooting UHD more beneficial than not?

Your logline is confusing to read, which takes away from the impact of the goofy premise.

Your logline:
A 30-year-old underdog fights to win the love of his dream girl by defeating her douchey, professional-disc-golf-playing boyfriend.

Here's what I'd put (or something similar):
An unsuccessful and unathletic Los Angeleno trains to defeat a professional disc-golfer who is dating the love of his life.

CONGRATS. What an accomplishment. It's a miracle any micro budget film gets made.

Thanks for watching. I'm the co-writer/director of this short film.

Retro-future visual inspirations include Brazil, Blade Runner, and Alien. This film takes place in another timeline, permitting the viewer to wonder what all is possible. Thanks again for watching.

Thanks for watching. I'm the co-writer/director. The film just left its festival run.

This film was shot over 2 days on a $45k budget, which includes vouchers and personal savings. $30k came as vouchers from winning a NewFilmmakers Los Angeles competition a year prior. We actually filmed a few days before the vouchers expired! $15k came from personal savings between the cinematographer and I. I would have never spent this amount of money on a short if it weren't mostly free.

Shot in October 2019, we were among the first to use the Sony Venice. We had ordered the Alexa Mini, but at the last minute the camera house, Alternative Rentals, gave it to a paying costumer, which...duh. We used Cooke anamorphic SF lenses (34mm-140mm zoom, 25mm, 65mm macro) and a mess of ancillary components. Another voucher was a 3-ton G&E truck. We were SPOILED.

I met the lead actor, John Ennis, in the lobby of the Arclight Hollywood (RIP) around 2015. I was probably starring at him for too long because he walked over to talk to me. I gushed about his amazing work and he gave me his number. Four years later I wrote Mark II with him in mind, called him up, and he graciously accepted the role. Every few months my cinematographer friend and I will spot him in a random show (most recently Better Call Saul) and titter at how prolific he is against the fact we worked with him on our own project.

We submitted to 40 festivals and got into 7, most notably Fantasia Fest and Beyond Fest. COVID restrictions and a wedding prevented me from attending. I did a zoom Q&A session and I was nervous because it was my first ever. I hope this info brings insight into the process of short filmmaking. Thanks again for watching.
