Private Project

Gong

Gong is a dark and elegant comedy that twists expectations and allows romance to take an unexpected – and deadly – ​​turn. When a sophisticated bag lady meets a confident businessman, an intense interplay of desire and control ensues, staged through a seductive tango. Gong is a stylish and thought-provoking work that explores the dark undertones of love and the fragile bond between fantasy and reality.

Director Statement

The COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point—it made me realize how fleeting life is and how vital it is to pursue what truly matters. As the film industry stood on uncertain ground, I felt a deep urgency to step out of my comfort zone and give life to the stories and visions that had long lived within me. Growing up, I escaped into a secret fantasy world, one rich with imagination and emotion. Now, I feel it's time to share that world with others through film and art. My greatest inspirations—Guillermo del Toro, Wong Kar-wai, James Cameron, and the Wachowski sisters—taught me that bold, emotional, and visionary storytelling can create profound connection. Their work empowered me to find my own creative voice and bring it to the screen.
