years.
The same death.

Six hundred years ago a woman was condemned as a witch and burned. Her life did not end there — frozen in her final moment, she has repeated the same death for centuries.

Two films. No words.

UNBOUND

언바운드 · 2026 · 25 min 01 s · no dialogue · 4K

Faint traces of a past life drift into her dreams, until the sealed memories suddenly return. We still live lives not so different from then. Only when the person she is now truly faces her past self, and holds her, does the endless loop finally come to an end.

UNLESS.

인류파멸의 반복 · 2026 · 6 min 34 s · nearly wordless

No body. Only a gaze, looking down from above. Humanity grows fast, then it ends, then it begins again in the same place. Dozens of times. Not once does anything change. And now we are standing in it.

Intertitle · how it is made

No crew. No capital.
One person, and a machine that wants spectacle — pulled, scene by scene, toward stillness.

Hundreds of regenerations per scene. Every film here was written, directed, generated, edited and scored alone, with generative AI as the studio.

Director's note
Whatever I make, the story bends toward repetition — never by design.

Time that returns, lives that repeat their shape, and the moment the loop finally comes undone. AI is my only possible medium: the first tool that lets a person with no crew and no capital carry an inner image to the screen without translating it for anyone. I work against AI's instinct for spectacle, pulling the film toward stillness and vulnerability.

Works that once depicted endless repetition arrived, with UNBOUND, at a story where the loop finally breaks.
