Big news! Embrace has been officially selected for the Short Film Competition at the Dallas International Film Festival. Celebrating its 20th edition this year, DIFF is an Oscar® qualifying festival and one of the major film festivals in Texas. That makes this news even more special to us. After wrapping production last year, it still feels surreal to see the film slowly making its way out into the world. A huge thank you and congratulations to all of our cast and crew who made this possible! We Are Going To Dallas! @wearediffdallas - Embrace가 달라스 국제영화제 단편 경쟁 부문에 공식 초청되었습니다. 올해 20주년을 맞이한 DIFF는 Oscar® qualifying festival이자, 텍사스를 대표하는 주요 영화제 중 하나입니다. 그래서 이번 소식이 저희에게 더욱 특별하게 느껴집니다. 작년 촬영을 마친 후, 영화가 세상 밖으로 조금씩 나아가고 있다는 것이 아직도 믿기지 않습니다. 모든 배우와 크루 여러분께 진심으로 감사드리며, 큰 축하를 전합니다! 우린 달라스로 갑니다!

I am deeply thankful and honored to have been accepted into the @americanfilminstitute Cinematography Class of 2028. It’s been a long, arduous journey of ups and downs. When I decided to pivot from journalism to film back in 2017, I didn’t know how scary this journey would be. I was overconfident, at the peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect. When I faced reality, when I found myself jobless for 6 months, I wondered if I’d made the wrong choice. But slowly but surely, I made friends, grew back my confidence bit by bit, and found myself doing what I’ve dreamed of doing since I was young. I was blessed to have parents who loved me and supported my overly ambitious dreams. I am forever in their debt. I also met the love of my life. She’s stayed beside me throughout the whole journey. Positive, negative moments, we shared it all. She made me the cinematographer I am today. I will forever be her number one fan and be forever by her side. Lastly, I’m thankful to every person who I had the pleasure of interacting and working with while on this journey. Filmmaking is a collaborative endeavor, and without the help and trust of these people, I would not have the career I have today. I love what I do, and you all made it happen. To another big step in my journey,
