Soo, what the h*** is the light in your movie?
The light is a metaphor of her passion, her dream. Her struggle is a harsh procedure of growing up. Her choice of burning out might be wrong to some people. But that is how her life goes like Tycho's Nova, a supernova.
How did you come up with this story?
The idea of Tycho's Nova was come up when I decided to go to US for film study. My mother, who adored her daughter badly, told me about two different lives. Following inner passion and giving up everything or accepting the lovely life around me. Those days, the desire to be a filmmaker was so strong as if I had an inner light in my heart. If I suppress it, I feel like I am going to die anyway. So I chose the life that I have now. I had to quit my decent job, break up with my love and I had to leave my family and my country for the first time. Am I happy now? Yes, I get what I want. At the same time my mother's warning is also true. However, what I really learn from the decision is that I am able to appreciate other people's life. Now I really understand my mother has her own passion like mine even though they are different. Only after I chose to follow my path, I could see others. As filmmaker, I want to tell these passionate people's life with an open mind.
