Aim big, even on your short film.
This post was written by Jean-Paul Ly.
Hi, everyone, my name is Jean-Paul Ly, and I am the producer/writer and director of the action comedy short film, Speed Dating, which is the second short I’ve directed, which was released on YouTube on Dec. 10, 2022. Watch it below.
The idea of Speed Dating, which tells the story of a secret agent reluctantly participating in a speed dating event, is a blend of different movies and genres that I liked, from K-Dramas (don’t judge me) to thriller, anime, romcom, and action movies, which I’m the most familiar with.
The Writing
While working on Doctor Strange 2 in early 2021, I used some of my spare time to develop and write a simple story and mixing genres in a short film, pretty much influenced by South Korean cinema. I was always fond of the James Bond/Bourne kind of movies but with a twist—it would need to be female-centric and female-led.
