|  Joseph Kim Seoul / 서울 [bio] HI, my name is Joseph Kim. I have had a passion for directing shot films. Ever since I was about 16 years old. I starts to run with the dream of become a famous film director.
I am a graduate from University of Colorado at Denver. This enabled me to craft my skills in movie production. I came to South Korea 8/01/09.
In 2009, I was the writer for the short film " Lake without words". In which, I was the writer of the short. We won the best use of dialogue in 2009 for the 48 FTP. During this event I got to network with allot of people with similar interests. I feel as the 48 hour film event was a great event in which filmmakers got to network.
I have a story to share with you. When I had touch down in South Korea in 2009. I had a vision to make inspirational movies. I was shut down by many people in South Korea. I didn't give up. I made a great friend in which we could collaborate on different film projects. From there we have had a working relationship. We have produced commercials, short-films, and documentaries. This was the kick starter of creating contents in South Korea.
I am a writer for a small game company. However I can never escape the passion for making short films. And getting my self involved in some kinds of film production.

|  Richard Schut Utrecht [bio]In 2006 I participated in the Film Challenge, which I loved so much that I wanted to participate in the 48 Hour Film Project in the Netherlands, alas there was none yet. So together with a wonderful friend Chris we started the 48 Hour in the Netherlands and since then things have gone crazy :-)
Currently the Netherlands has four 48 Hours and its hard to find any filmmakers who doesn't know the 48 Hour.
Besides 48 Hour I love collaborative creation/art in general. It always amazes me how much a small group of dedicated people can achieve. More impressions on collaborative creation on my website www.thepowerofmoo.com
