Director Statement

​

"All the students or newly graduated actresses I met during the casting process of Phenomenon were deeply concerned about the movie's theme. Each of them knew at least one schoolmate, male or female, who had turned to sex work or considered it as a way to pay for school. While there is no issue with sex workers who love their job and choose it willingly, in this case, these individuals are forced into it by an absolute lack of money. They are unable to find part-time work in the hospitality and retail sectors. The Covid pandemic has exacerbated this situation, with many affected by a loss of income and reduced financial support from their parents due to the worsening economy. This experience made me realize, more than ever, the importance of addressing this issue."
