How we film

A Korean and Filipino team, filming in Korea.

Every subtitle is a line you actually said.
iyagi

We make a K‑drama out of the days you spend in Korea.

A good melodrama can sit with an ordinary afternoon and make it matter. We treat your trip that way, one scene at a time.

How we work

01
Your story first

We build the film from your own words.

Before we plan a single shot, we get on a call and talk about the two of you. Most couples start with how they met and end up somewhere they didn't expect to go. We record that conversation, write it down, and shape it into the treatment we shoot from. Every scene in the film starts as something you said, and the subtitles you read on screen are your own lines, word for word.

02
A K-drama, made of your days

Real days, shaped into scenes.

One idea carries each film, and the day is built around it. Every scene gets a scouted place and a time chosen for its light, down to which street looks right at which hour. You never manage the day. We do, including the bags. Our direction stays small on purpose: we set a scene, help you settle into it, and step back before the moment turns into a pose.

03
Not pretty. You.

Every choice comes back to you.

Anyone can make Korea look pretty. Our test for every choice is harder: does it still look like you? That question picks the location and the hour. It picks the clothes and the grade. It follows the film into the edit, where your recorded voices carry the story and a beautiful shot gets cut when it doesn't sound like you.

The team.

Photographer

Tak

Stills and direction. A Korean photographer who built his career shooting in the Philippines. On the day he works beside the film camera rather than after it, so your photographs and your film come out of the same light. Most of the direction you'll hear comes from him, and it stays plain: where to stand, when to walk, what to ignore.

Producer

Dianne

Planning and on-set producing. A Filipina producer who came up in Philippine broadcasting and now runs our days in Korea. She turns the treatment into a working day: what gets filmed where, and how much time the light actually gives us. On location she keeps everything moving without letting you feel managed.

Filmmaker

Seal

Shooting and edit. A Korean filmmaker whose working life ran through Thailand before Korea. He shoots the film and cuts it himself, so the person framing you on the day is the same person who later chooses which of your words become the subtitles. Nothing gets handed off in between.

Each of us has spent years working in a country not our own. It changes how you see a place: close enough to know it, new enough to still notice it. We look at Korea that way when we film you in it.

Your story is already happening in Korea. We are here to film it.

It starts with a call.
