𝖱𝖲𝖪 𝖱𝖤𝖵𝖨𝖤𝖶: The 27th JEONJU International Film Festival
본래 영화라는 매체가 그렇습니다. 한 프레임을 넘어, 한 장면을 넘어, 한 신을 넘어, 스크린 밖으로 관객에게 끊임없이 묻곤 하죠. 잊고 있던 삶의 단면들과 당연시하던 신념들을, 나의 마음을 울리는 말들과 너에 대한 속 깊은 이야기로요.🎞️
모처럼 산뜻했던 봄날, 집요하게 따라가고 탐구하는, 지독하게 사랑하고 그리워하는, 천천히 살피고 들여다보는 작품들을 만나고 왔습니다. 다큐멘터리와 픽션을 오가고, 다양한 국경과 주제들을 넘나들며 갖게 된 단상들을 지금 공유합니다.✍️

Friendship. Growing up. Finding your own voice. 🎭✨
Jan-Felix in conversation with Kelly O’Sullivan @kellyooonooo & Alex Thompson @alexthompson416 about “MOUSE” — a coming-of-age story set in the summer of 2002, where best friends Minnie and Callie stand on the brink of their senior year. When their tight bond begins to fracture, Minnie is forced to step out of the shadows and confront questions of class, identity, and independence.
Tender, sharp, and emotionally honest — a portrait of adolescence at the moment everything starts to shift.

Mouse is getting its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, and we couldn’t be more excited and grateful. This film means so much to me for so many reasons. An immensely talented group of people made this movie, and I’m thrilled audiences will get to see their impeccable and heartfelt work soon! #berlinfilmfestival
Look, getting to write for and act with Lois Smith was top of the bucket list I barely allowed myself to dream. Her immense talent is only matched by her kindness, grace, and wicked humor. And to be joined by Cherry Jones and Reed Birney? Come on. As with all independent films, so many people put so much work and love into this film. Thank you to San Francisco, the film office, the spectacular cast and crew, and most of all to @adam.kersh@leylineentertainment@chelseakrant@pbcf3@denis.lenoir and @alexthompson416 for making this movie happen. ❤️❤️❤️ 🌉

I’ve never been prouder or more grateful for the team that put this film together. If you’re thinking of seeing it, I highly encourage you to find it on the big screen. It’s a film about community and connection; experiencing it with other people in a theater gives it that little extra magic. Thank you to everyone who’s seen it so far. We are so thankful!
