I'm currently reworking Criminal Sphere for another round of entries for the upcoming screenplay contests. I rushed the writing and prematurely sent out the script to meet the deadlines last year... I was hoping that readers notice its potential rather than apparent lack of refinement of writings within the script. It met with the predictable result that got nowhere. (Sorry my baby.) I'm nursuing the script back to its strength as I think of more of the characters rather than plots after I mapped out all the "plot points." What is this movie about? What does the characters want? The questions got me thinking harder about its theme and I'm surprised to find new emerging theme in the story and the characters, albeit I've yet to work it in the script. The key is to express the theme and the desire into the script so that readers can "feel" it rather than "see" it.

I'm also brainstorming another feature-length screenplay set in post-unified Korea. (Written in Korean for Korean audience of course.) Amazingly enough, I have harder time writing creatively in Korean than English. That proves I've lived in America longer than I care to admit...
