Overview

"I wanted to make an action film. An action film featuring a woman." Yeonjeong talks about her dream before a huge wave, and immediately she is throwing herself around the mat at a jiu-jitsu gym. To understand action means to understand the body, which is why she learns surfing as well as martial arts.

How It Feels

A filmmaker follows her own physical and creative awakening through jiu-jitsu and surfing, blending documentary intimacy with animated sequences to explore how the body itself can be a form of storytelling. It's a lyrical essay on movement, agency, and the pursuit of making the action cinema she wants to see.
