Korea’s quick growth resulted in much contrast between the old and young, and rural and urban. This documentary visually shows the different aspects of Korean life, and is narrated over by Koreans of all ages and backgrounds that are a part of it. Their narration examines their thoughts of the Korea around them, of the different generations, and of all of the changes they have seen and experienced throughout their lives. All of this is blended together to show the diverse aspects of one country that has tremendously transformed in such a short time.
My responsibilities on this documentary included finding and securing interviewees, finding and securing locations for the interviews, facilitating filming and ensuring that the documentary would make it to the end and be released.

If we take a look into history we can see female musicians are usually vocal based. Of course there are a variety of musicians out there but searching for female musicians who play unique instruments or non popular music is rarely in the spotlight nowadays. Actually, if we look at what the media says about this, we can see from the UK press alone that this is a problem, and even a problem in diverse and multicultural countries. This documentary explores the world of the ever elusive female musicians who are studying, working, breaking barriers down and also trying to get over the stereotypes of the South Korean music industry, in order to chase their dreams.
I was the producer for the first part of the shooting for this documentary: organizing the logistics and supporting the director in any way I could to make sure the filming and the interviews went well.

Paul's search for perfection seems to have been reached with Inara but it is what happened to Aurora on that fateful night which Paul cannot and will not forget. Paul's story is that of ourselves, in constant search for perfection in our consumerist society and our inability to recognize that what we want is not necessarily what we need. Through his relationships with Inara, Aurora and Anna we see the beginnings of recognition and acceptance that there is no such thing as a perfect human being and that just maybe it is chaos and imperfection in which we can find true happiness.
