On February 21, Korean independent filmmaker, Kim Mi Rye visited MediR in Tokyo to lecture on a general history and current situation about Mediact. She also shared her own experiences in independent filmmaking in South Korea.
She firstly told us about the relationship with Mediact. A story that caught my attention was that she decided to make her own film after her divorce. she was completely an amateur filmmaker and did not have enough money to buy a video camera at that time. So the supports of Mediact was lifesaver for her in terms of both film equipments and media education. Even when she filmed "Waebak", she rented a video camera for long time shoot. Moreover, staffs of Mediact advised her about technical matter, sounds recording, improving quality of images. And she mentioned that the staffs of Indiespace were like comrades to discuss about filmmaking.
