For some reason, it feels like there are a lot of indie film directors and actors/actresses here in Korea. There are tons here in Seoul, and I've heard there are more in Busan.
This could be because they are big cities, or there could just be something cinematic about South Korea. I've taken up producing short films as a hobby now that I speak both English and Korean. Lots of small time directors here are English teachers trying to make a living and make a break. From my end, it's a fun way to spend a weekend.
For bilingual people with an interest in film but no training, I recommend this hobby because you can learn a lot, have some fun, and (rarely) make a little cash.
On March 26, 2009, I left my life in America and moved to South Korea. I put my worldly possessions into two suitcases and a backpack and got on a plane. On December 8, 2012, I returned not to my hometown of Detroit, but to Silicon Valley, California, where I married an Indian engineer. In 2020, I divorced and moved to southern California. In this blog are my successes, failures, and observations of life in different cultures.
