Director's notes
I was fortunate to make this film while taking a 16mm cinematography course at the university. It was my first time creating a film using the classic BOLEX 16mm camera. Through this project, I aimed to evoke a range of emotions in the audience—from joyfulness to introspection. I wanted viewers not only to enjoy the film but also to ponder the deeper meanings embedded in its story.
