Program Note
Another ambitious low-budget 3-D drama distinctive from [A Fish], Persimmon spent the budget of $350,000. The project had started as a cable TV movie that aired last year under the title [Restroom]. The TV movie went through a complete make-over from title, editing to sound design in 3D. The new 3D film is set in a confined space of a public restroom in a rural town, 6 characters such as a physics professor, an insurance salesperson, a bum, a monk and a homeless man etc mysteriously get locked up in the restroom together. Needless to say they are symbolic of human types. They turn out to have contributed one way or another to the mysterious death of a girl. Observing their stories is an intense experience. 3D effects work better than ever expected. The director expresses his intention for the film saying “Anyone can hurt another person by one small careless behavior. I wanted to demonstrate the fearsome fact that our careless behavior can cause fatal consequences that cannot be undone.” (JEON Chanil)
