Smile Town :)

Role: Director, Screenwriter, Editor, Production Designer

Production Period: 2 Months

Idea: The idea was inspired by the pandemic that everyone was enduring back then. The pandemic is the fermentation of loneliness and isolation in some ways, but at the same time, you do not have to keep smiling when you do not want to. We learn to hide our emotions and only choose to show positivity to people naturally. Pondering the similarity between mask and smile, we want to explore relentless optimism, beauty standards, and toxic desires in the capital-driven society through this short film.
