He reminisces about the early days with a small team, dreaming up the types of stories they wanted to bring to the screen, with this film about the power and mystery of dreams being one of their first concepts.
Woo shares his long-held fascination with dreams, pondering their origins, purposes, and what they reveal about our deeper selves. He expresses that creating this film allowed him to delve into these questions through a captivating and imaginative narrative.
