I saw a screening of a short film I was involved in. Back then it was still untitled - it was the "North Korean Spy Project". My sister and I were involved and I was blown away by the film. Blown away because it was so much better than I expected.
The short film "Goodbye Kim Hyun Hee" is a coming of age story about this HK Teenager who fantasies about the North Korean spy Kim Hyun Hee. She was responsible for blowing up a South Korean commercail flight, killing over 100 people. She was a mysterious and glamourous figure in history, as she was a beauty and indoctrinated into believing the North Korean cause was just. The HK Teenager is infatuated with this figure and neglects his own girlfriend. He realizes that his obsession is merely fantasy and he is not in touch with reality.
I made it sound way too complicated. It's just a good coming of age story - funny and light with a good narrative.
The other short films that we saw were just slow, pretensious and crap. I am so relieved that the one I was involved in was actually funny and good.
Jenny was great in it, all the actors were well cast. You can see the different film styles the director was going for and it was actually entertaining.
Between this and Cabot Lane, wow, I just realized I'm involved in stuff! Creative, fun stuff outside of my job of directing and writing my own plays.
How the hell did I get here?
