Behind the Camera

Director E J-yong signs on to direct an ad spot and becomes taken with the whimsical notion of directing the film not from on set, but from an off-site location using Web-based technology. E writes this very idea into his short film, a story about a director who attempts to “remote direct” his film in order to go on a date. E then rounds up a star-studded cast, but secretly flies out to Hollywood in order to put his plan into action. On the morning of the first day of the shoot, E J-yong greets his cast and crew through a monitor. Without the director on set, the production spirals into chaos and everyone on set shouts in frustration, “The director has lost his mind!” Will they be able to finish this film?
