Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Nam Yeon-woo made this for under $50K, shooting in actual indie theatres where he worked. The grime is real.

Cultural

Released during Korea's slow queer cinema wave—it's less coming-out story and more 'straight people, get your house in order' manifesto.
