Why everyone with a Korean mom needs to go to therapy.


Director - Zoe Kim

A few months ago when I was having lunch with a friend, they said "I want to make movies but I don't have money, I don't have equipment, I don't know how, I don't know where to start..."

Filmmaking can be a daunting challenge for those of us who didn't get any formal education in it or know of anyone around us who does it. Everything I know about filmmaking have been self-taught through constant trial and error and the generous help of Youtube content creators sharing their tips and tricks online for free.


It had been a few years since I made films and after the lunch with my friend, I decided to make PHONE CALL to show them that you can start the journey of filmmaking with whatever you've got - even if that's just you and your smart phone.


I had no budget, no other equipment, no fancy tricks or skills to shoot something amazing, but I hope that this micro film of mine can serve as evidence that anybody can create something and have it be included at festivals.

I hope that the filmmaking community will continue to inspire, encourage, embrace, and include unconventional films and filmmakers to break down financial barriers within our field. It's my belief that Filmmaking should be for everyone at any stage of their career or level of resource.
