A scene from "Close To You"
Howdy!

For this screening we had Ye-in Shin from South Korea join us for the Q & A. We also had Sho Kataoka for "I Have Gas" but I've reported on his Q & A from a previous screening so please check that out.

Ye-in's "Close To You" is a coming-of-age short film about a South Korean high school girl who dreams of meeting a famous movie star.

On the appearance of Woo-son Jong, a huge heart throb, idol, movie star in South Korea & Asia:
Well, it turns out that Ye-in is a huge fan herself. In fact, she's the president of the Woo-son Jong fan club!
Woo-son easily agreed to appear in the short but it seems she had some problems dealing with his production & management company.

On the movie within the movie:
Yes it is a movie titled "Beat" from 1997 that was the movie that made Ye-in a big fan of Woo-son. She also was drawn to the opening line loosely translated as "I have no more dreams".

After the Q & A, Ye-in was surrounded in the lobby by Japanese fans of Woo-son Jong for pics & talk about the star!!

Way to go Ye-in!
