- Synopsis
-
“How would I define it? It seemed terrifying and horrific…”
“I am Doha, Juahn, Hwawol.”
In this nonfiction film, I can be anything I want and create any story I like. In an online open-world setup based on fantasy stories, I make new friends. We put together an on-line community titled ‘E.S.P.’ and finally embark upon an adventure.
Going back and forth between ‘Lysan City’, ‘Alstroemeria’, and ‘Asua’, the stories we create present many twists and turns.
- Director’s Note / Intention
- The film title ′E.S.P.′ is short for ‘Extrasensory Perception’. We will film three fantasy stories which were created by ten teenagers taking part in an online role-playing game over a year. E.S.P. will be a powerful depiction of the minds and lives of real teens, offering a new kind of perception.
