My Old Me

Pitch

Since childhood, I've carried within me an "imaginary self" named "Rachel Lee," who lives in France. I thought she would eventually fade away, but even in my mid-twenties, she remains. Refusing to leave her as a dream, I take my camera and travel to France to discover who "Rachael Lee" really is—and who I am. "Arriving in France to search for 'Rachael Lee,' what I found, ironically, was Korea. It was the women who had lived there before me. It was the young women who, like me, live there today. A space of disappearance. Within it, I saw those who had vanished and those who were fighting to break free. Inside every personal desire lies a vast society. That's why this film is both a journey to find 'Rachael Lee' and an escape to protect her." I want to share this story with those who carry their own "Rachael Lee" within them. And I want to remember those who couldn't. – Lee Cherin
