Director Statement
Suite Night is based on a true story. I want to make my own dream and my own world for my films. Women and sexual minorities are under contact scrutiny in my society. In this film, I touch upon several issues faced by these groups because I myself am one of them. I want to talk about things that are an invitation to silence.
With all the constant dangers and difficulties in making this film, for a long time, I had panic attacks and was under constant stress because of the consequences I thought might face. There is a red line in the place where I live, which stops me from expressing my creative thoughts freely but I still made this film for you to see.
