Filmmaker's note
Since I was writing the scenario, I tried to make emotionally impressing films. Although there were hundreds of films for the subject and/or the narrative, I wanted each cinematic elements like sounds, images and narratives to be ironically combined. Thus, I spent a lot of time on pre-production, editing and sound designing. During the production period, all staff and actors helped me a lot, and I really appreciate them. This film couldn't be possible without their passion and love.
