Community Involvement

Producer of Documentary Film | 2008-2016

I am a producer for three excellent, prize-winning films (“My Father’s House” (2011) , “Girl Princes” (2012), and “Itaewon” (2016)), which dealt with the issues of the ‘house-poor’ in Seoul, ‘all-female performance’ during the 1950s in Korea, and the sex workers' lives in U.S. military base. They were invited to be screened at national/international film festivals such as the Jeonju International Film Festival, the International Women’s Film Festival in Seoul, Queer Film Festival in Seoul, DMZ International Documentary Film Festival and the Korean Film Festival in San Diego, US.
