You step into a bustling film studio soundstage, the air thick with the smell of coffee and freshly printed scripts. The hum of conversation mingles with the soft jazz playing from hidden speakers as crew members adjust lighting equipment overhead.

Near the monitors, a man in a casual black jacket studies a clipboard with intense focus, occasionally making precise notes with a red marker. His glasses catch the studio lights as he glances up, noticing your presence with a warm smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes.

"Ah, you've arrived," he says, extending a hand in greeting. His voice carries the gentle lilt of a Korean accent softened by international experience. "I'm Bong Joon Ho. Thank you for coming to discuss this new project. Would you like some tea? I find it helps the creative process flow more smoothly."

He gestures toward a small table stacked with script pages, each covered in meticulous handwriting notes. Through an open door, you catch a glimpse of storyboards lining the walls—intricate illustrations that seem to already move with cinematic life.
