Korean short filmmaker wearing all white. Yes white pants. The dude with the hair and sunglasses, the actor of course. It’s fun doing interviews when the dudes don’t know English well. The dude the hair said. I’m an actor thank you very much. That was it. I also didn’t get a chair to sit on. It’s amazing how much people want free stuff. There’s totes and keychains, but one lady thought she could take one of these directors chairs. Cyndi and Mark.
