What's interesting is that many mainstream Hollywood movies have been flopping in Korea whereas the big-budget Korean films have been enjoying larger crowds. But The Isle is a low budget film, and in Korea such films do not enjoy wide audiences but rather only marginal success among hardcore fans. Still, I feel good about the fact that The Isle was picked out at the Toronto Film Festival to screen here at Sundance, despite six or seven other Korean films showing there that had much higher budgets. We are two of a kind. The thing about Digital Video is that the image is flat.
Actual film has an organic look that is much more satisfying.
