Best Music Video

"Garosougil" (가로수길)

Written and Directed by Wonsuk Chin
Produced by Hyeongil Cho
Hi, my name is Wonsuk Chin and I'm a filmmaker currently based in Seoul. I just directed and shot a music video with an iPhone 4 and I believe it's Korea's 1st iPhone 4 music video.

The song "Garosougil" (the name of the street in Seoul) is written and sung by Yang Jinseok, also a renowned architect in Korea. We had fun making it and I hope you enjoy it, too.

Perhaps it was the actors, the music, or maybe the director was able to reach out past language barriers and convey a very specific message. While there is very little "special fx" use with the iPhone this film has a great use of transitions and a meaningful story. While I don't speak a lick of Korean, the film conveys a story of love, lost and hope.

Best Film 3rd Place

"La Valigia"

"La Valigia" is a short I directed for Colombo via della spiga, a high end fashion brand. It was shot on the iPhone 4 and filmed in one day and edited for 3 days. I wanted to push the limits and here's the result.

A woman. A man. And a bag.This time-warping tale was conceived with a very simple question. This bag that seems to have dated back to 1850′s... who did it belong to? Was it a man? A woman? Like a dreamy European film, "La Valigia" is like a daydream in the autumn afternoon.

Very well written story that encapsulates contemporary film with older 1800′s style films. Most importantly, this film leave plenty of room for interpretation and imagination. Perhaps it tells a story of the inevitable future this couple will face. However, it could also be a deep secret that which they keep trapped. None the less, it was a very well written and offered a lot of content within the short time span the director had.
