Let us go to the annual event of ‘Film Day.’ There are filmmakers and men of culture, but there is no film crew. Let us hear the film laborers at production. They say that they work not for the money but rather for the passion. Directors and producers, without paying the wages for their crews, say that once their film goes well, which goes better for everyone. In order to settle this kind of irrationality, the union of film crews was founded in 100 years Korean film history. And the first collective bargaining advanced in 2006. Could all the problems in film industry be solved even though the union was founded and the bargaining was accomplished? Or, could it become a process of establishing rapid neo-liberalism in Korean film industry to make the formation of film industry or its rationality? I, as an independent filmmaker, am getting seriously confused.

Korean film has its 100 years’ history. Its industry, however, has history of no more than 20 years as an industry. This rapid industrialization contains quite unequal problems. Among these problems, the issue on the bad condition and treatment for film staffs stays at the bottom level compared with 100 year’s Korean film history. This documentary is produced in order to convey that improvement of the treatment for production staffs belongs to an important part of the development of Korean film industry.
