SYNOPSIS
DIRECTOR
KIM Soomin
While doing a documentary theater, I also started a documentary film.
LI Tiantian
Born in Yunnan Province, China, I have been studying documentary making since my undergraduate study. In my opinion, documentary is also a way of self-expression. Just like literature uses words to write the world and convey emotions, documentary uses the lens to capture life moments and convey another kind of life in real life.
EN Liang Rui

CHEN Wen Yen
Born in Taichung, Taiwan, studied sociology and is currently studying documentary filming.
