Filming: 2023/08
Synopsis
18-year-old Soon-jeong, who lives alone with her mother, an extraordinary life planner. Like any other teenage high school girl, she is dissatisfied with her home and school. In particular, she is full of complaints about her mother. She is studying Swahili since she wants to live in the vastness of Africa once she graduates from high school.

And so, she starts working part-time at a convenience store early, but the disruption to Soon-jeong's plans is none other than her new homeroom teacher, Hee-joo. As soon as Hee-joo was appointed to Soon-jeong's school, she made unconventional suggestions that were different from other teachers, such as having the children rotate class leaders and lockers every week and telling them to use their cell phones on their own as long as they are not caught. The children responded immediately with unconventional suggestions.

Will Soon-jeong be able to safely pass the stormy age of eighteen?

"KIM~CHI!" (2024)

Directed by Park Cheol-hyeon

With Lee Joo-yeon, Han In-soo, Lee Jae-joon, Kim Jung-pal, Kim Sung-hee, Cha Jun-hui,...

Filming: 2024/03/10~2024/04/09
Synopsis
Deok-goo: A kind-hearted old gentleman, sending his granddaughter off to kindergarten every morning, sits outside and waves at the front gate, hoping to have a pleasant day. With no granddaughter to see him off, only happy memories of his past linger in his mind. He was a proud old man, a traditional Korean musical actor and Vietnam War veteran. After losing his granddaughter in a car accident, he succumbed to dementia and a debilitating illness that ultimately led to his death.

Min-kyeong: After defiantly confronting her boyfriend's betrayal, an abortion, and the relentless sexual harassment of her former boss, Min-kyeong, a "third-rate" photographer follows in her father's footsteps and turns to photography.

By chance, novice photographer Min-kyeong captures Deok-goo, a man with dementia, waving to a seemingly empty space with a cheerful smile. Their encounter will remind us of the people we hold dearest.

This is a story of warm and heartfelt exchanges between two people who seem outwardly isolated and lacking. It's a story of communication and connection between neighbors. Unbeknownst to them, they will forever influence each other. Time flows from a withering flower, and it becomes healthy and young again.

A seemingly unrelated neighbor influences and transforms my life. A community where we must live together, like an organic organism. This is the story of "KIM~CHI!".

"Crooked: The Cartel - The Movie" (2026)

Directed by Lee Seung-hwan-IV

Synopsis
Dubbed the bible of election fraud documentaries, "Crooked (歪): The Cartel" is armed with a powerful persuasive power that instantly turns even those who dismissed election fraud as a conspiracy theory into believers. Its content includes a wealth of evidence and statistics uncovered during the 2020 general election and recount process, the 2022 presidential and local elections-all unreported by legacy media-as well as logical rebuttals of the National Election Commission's claims, and vivid testimonies from insiders. This documentary is so compelling that it instantly turns even those who dismissed it as a conspiracy theory into believers. This destructive power led KBS, another key figure in the media cartel, to reject five petitions from patriots to air the documentary. This documentary will serve as a catalyst for the entire nation to confront the truth about election fraud and rise up in anger.

"Protector" (2025)

A Korean-American co-production.
