Now Jae’s won the top gong for best director at Around International Film Festival in Paris. The 20-minute long psychological thriller shines a light on how a lack of noise on domestic violence leaves victims to carry an all-consuming burden alone. It has racked up accolades at film festivals in Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona and the United States. Jae is awaiting the outcome of some more film festivals after making finalist categories for best short film and best director.
