Transit

Short showcase

MOON Hyein | 2022 | Fiction | Color | DCP | 28min (E)

SYNOPSIS

A low-budget horror film is being shot in a studio. The gaffer is a transgender who has recently got back to work after a long hiatus due to gender reassignment surgery. The child actor is just beginning a career in acting. There is a strangely uncomfortable atmosphere in the studio, and the gaffer and the child actor run into each other more often than usual.

DIRECTING INTENTION

I hope that sexual transition would not necessarily lead to a separation from one’s life. I made this film out of the desire that it’s just another way to identify oneself so that life can go on.
