It’s been nearly a year since we started following the story of separation and the missing in two very distinct places: Jordan and Korea. When the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) asked us to make a short documentary on missing people in Syria for the Korean public, the concept of weaving two very distinct stories was born.
In Korea, we filmed a 1st-generation North Korean defector who still misses her separated family members. In Jordan, we followed the stories of two Syrian refugees—two mothers of missing sons. These two seemingly unrelated stories from different times and places share the pain and desperation of longing for loved ones.

A commercial documentary project with LG U+, capturing the story of two U+ team members who have to work through the night to ensure smooth communication for the bustling crowds during the New Year.
What we considered important in this video was striking a balance, reducing the overly staged feel while maintaining a certain level of production value. So for some scenes, we used handheld shooting to give a live, spontaneous feel, while for key moments, we also used a gimbal to create a more stable look.
In the editing phase, the work was produced based on producer Ara's script, and was completed with Hwawon's cut editing and graphics work, along with Seonghoon's post production detail work and color grading.
