I've Read All Of Sarah Waters's Novels

When I Was Growing Up, We Were Taught In School That North Koreans, And Especially The North Korean Leadership, Were All Devils.

I'd Like To Do A Really Masculine Film.

Not Only Do I Look At The Playback With The Actors, But I Look At The On-set Assembly Footage With The Sequences With My Actors As Well. These Are The Reasons Why I Take Twice As Much Time To Shoot A Film In Korea. Thinking Back, I Remember On My First Ever Korean Film, I Never Used Any Playback Or On-set Assembly, So All I Had To Do Was To Tell Myself It's Just Like Making My First Ever Korean-language Film. After That, I Felt Right At Home.

I Am Not Going To Do A Film Based On A Bad Scenario Just To Make A Big Hollywood Film Or Work With Hollywood Stars.

In Korea Is What I Do Is I Watch The Playback Of Each Take With All Of The Actors And Spend A Lot Of Time Discussing Each Take. Also, I Use The Process We Call Auto-assembly Because I Storyboard My Entire Film Right At The Beginning, Even Before Pre-production Ever Begins, So My Vision Is Already Laid Out On The Storyboard For Everybody To Share. It Enables The On-set Assembly Person, As We Call Them, To Cut Together Each Take Into A Sequence. This Enables A Director To Review The Take Within The Context Of The Sequence Of The Scene.
