I met with with Nakii at the exit of Nohyeon.

It had been raining a lot in Seoul. We both holding an umbrella each.

We walked in the quiet neighbourhood of Nohyeon, and we came to the printing lab. There was a truck parked at the entrance, and Nakii and I had to squeeze ourselves to get through.

At the elevator we studied the sign. I tried to read, and Nakii corrected me: third floor, Si Sa Shi. I am learning to read the korean character. I learnt them from reading the sign in metro.

We get to third floor, and we were brought to the screening room, the si sa shi.

The light went off. I hear the sound of the projector. It is a strange feelling. To see one minute of my film.

The sea, the moon light, the rocks, and the jungle. Strangely i lost the familiarity of them.

For the first time, I forget that this is a film I made. The images on the screen seems to be always exist. It is a film made, not by myself.

Then the film finish. The light turned on. I asked to show the print again. because i forgot to do what i was suppose to be doing. to look at the color grading.

The color is good.

I asked if i could look at the print. Because this is the first time i have my film on a print.

I was just too happy.

To celebrate that, I had bibimbap for lunch. In fact, I have bibimbap everyday, don't you think life needs celebration, when one's film is SLOWLY finishing, and it is raining outside everyday?

We sat near a window. because it is always nice to look at rain, because we are comfortably sitting inside.

Maybe I forgot to tell you, I am quite obsessed with unnecessary knowledges. When I was 12, I read an encyclopedia cover to cover. I found the title The Year Without A Summer from Wikipedia, which I am addicted to. It was 1816, and there was no summer in that year. In some places in America ...
