"Back Home" Director's Picture

Director: Nate KI

Director’s Statement

The concept for the movie "Back Home" originated while I was writing a horror novel. During this time, I interviewed individuals who claimed to have the "third eye" and asked how they would react when encountering ghosts. An overwhelming 90% of respondents said they would pretend not to see them. This response deeply struck me.

Although most people do not possess the "third eye," in real life, when faced with injustice or unfairness, many often choose to turn a blind eye or keep their distance. This societal behavior inspired me to explore this theme further in the film "Back Home."
