I successfully completed the five-day “Movie Making Seminar” held at the Movie Guide Office, which started on June 12. On the evening of June 16, I received a graduation certificate during the graduation ceremony.
Although there were times when I couldn’t understand what was being said, I managed to complete all the assignments like everyone else, without dropping out or receiving any special treatment. It was truly a miracle! I strongly felt the support of the church’s work and prayers. Of course, this is just the beginning of our journey to create an animated movie about the 26 martyrs in Hollywood, but I believe it signifies that we have embarked on a serious path of occupation.
