Get to know the filmmaker:

1. What motivated you to make this film?

I was motivated to make this film because Low Roar’s last album was released posthumously, so the music video was made without the singer. The subject matter was therefore special and touching for me.

2. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?

The realization came quite quickly. The idea came suddenly and I asked my dancer friend to join me in the filming. We filmed for about an hour with her. It took me about two hours to edit.

3. How would you describe your film in two words!?

Fragmented dream

4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?

There were no major obstacles during production.

5. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?

It was quite fun to watch people’s reactions to the video and what interpretations they made of what they saw.

6. When did you realize that you wanted to make films?

I was 15 years old when I realized I wanted to make films.

7. What film have you seen the most in your life?

I don’t really have time to watch movies, but when I was younger I watched a lot of Star Wars – Episode 4. When I was young, I also watched a lot of art films from different countries.

8. What other elements of the festival experience can we and other festivals implement to satisfy you and help you further your filmmaking career?

I think you are doing a really good job now, so unfortunately I have nothing to add to this.

9. You submitted to the festival via FilmFreeway. How has your experiences been working on the festival platform site?

I think FilmFreeway has worked really well. The ease of use and clarity is a big plus.

10. What is your favorite meal?

My favorite dish is baked feta pasta.

11. What is next for you? A new film?

I’m currently working on new music videos for clients around the world, promoting my upcoming poetry photography exhibition, and starting to work on scripts for new films. All the best, Kim
