Bearing Dreams

I said I’d be back and I am, with a film to show!

So last year, I volunteered at the VC film festival and I said I’d be back next year with a film to present.

So I’ve been working hard and I got to be a part of the VC Armed with a Camera Fellowship through which I created my 5 min documentary, Bearing Dreams. The final product will be screened at the Visual Communication Film Festival as part of the VC digital posse night on May 9th, 8pm at the JPN Aratani Theatre.

This documentary takes a look at TaeMong, the Korean dream that expectant mothers get to foreshadow their unborn child (the sex, the personality, and the destiny of the child).

I interviewed my family members and the way I got to know what a taemong was (and its impact on my life and the lives around me).

Isn’t it cool to think that there’s a specific and unique dream for you that is as special as the date of your birth, your astrological sign, the year of your birth, etc. that make up who you are? I think so!

My VC digital posse group have been working hella hard on their films as well. I got a sneak peak at some of them and they look really really good.

Let me know if you are in LA or will be around to partake in the festivities~
