Delighted that IDOLS, a K-pop home invasion short film I produced, will have its World Premiere at the 30th Fantasia IFF (@FantasiaFest).
Presented by @samansajpn, IDOLS is the brainchild of writer-director Matt Halsall and stars the great Hojo Shin in a dual role.

THE KING’S WARDEN is doing insane numbers. Crossed 10 mil viewers Friday, but at this rate it’ll become the highest grossing domestic film in Korean BO history (record is ₩139.6B, ₩150B seems assured). 50/50 whether it unseats ROARING CURRENTS’ all-time admissions haul (17.6M).
Stepping back into the K-Cinema Library column over on @KoreanFilmBiz with a dive into cinematic iconoclast Lee Myung-se's sumptuous reverie FIRST LOVE, a criminally underseen landmark of 90s Korean cinema starring Kim Hye-soo. #첫사랑 koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/news/in…

Inspired by the recent release of AEMA, I felt it was high time that someone compiled the definitive ranking of the best Korean Erotic films of the 80s.

“If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me”
There are times when Brian Wilson’s music was the only thing that got me through the day. Today, as we say goodbye to my favourite 20th century composer, looks to be another one of those days.
In lieu of a minute of silence, I offer my favourite Brian Wilson deep cut.

Well this was a lovely surprise. #JIFF2025

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES explores Koreanness in a way that is rich, raw and profoundly moving. The series sets a lofty benchmark for homegrown K-drama that could guide the industry for years to come. #폭싹속았수다
