A webtoonist’s life intertwines with a woman cosplaying as a minor character from his work, sparking an unusual relationship that teeters between reality and fantasy. As their connection deepens, Moon's refusal to confront his feelings raises an unsettling question: does he genuinely care for Mira as an equal partner, or is he infatuated with her as a living embodiment of his creation? A subdued, intimate exploration of love, objectification, and the mundane moments that define relationships, this film deconstructs the tropes of romantic drama with quiet intensity.

I enjoy religion, I appreciate belief systems and how they offer structure to people's lives. I also appreciate how spirituality manifests itself in Asian cultures as this almost earthbound presence guiding people through every day life and when they need an extra bit of help they need only ask whichever deity holds dominion over their desire. Here is an experimental film I made with videos from my iPhone. Shot across Taiwan and South Korea. An experimental film I made with videos from my iPhone. Shot across Taiwan and Korea. My aim was to explore success in how it pertains to every day life, the satisfaction of small moments, spirituality, superstition, and daily rituals.
