KDN에게 보내는 메시지

처음 한국을 방문했을 때는 한국에 어떤 다큐 창작자들이 있는지, 한국 미디어 환경에서 다큐가 어떠한 위상을 가지고 있는지 전혀 몰랐습니다. 재능과 열정이 넘치는 한국 창작자들을 만났는데, 대부분 독립창작자로 일하고 있어서 다큐멘터리 장르의 공익성을 대변하거나 세계시장에 진출하는데 어려움이 많았습니다. 그런 환경이 크게 변화한 것에 대해 기쁘게 생각합니다. KDN이 한국 다큐멘터리를 홍보하고, 재능있는 창작자들을 결집하고, ‘너의 성공이 곧, 나의 성공’이라는 마음으로 정보를 공유하는 공동체로 자리 잡았습니다. KDN의 역할은 너무도 중요합니다. 명예회원으로 초대된 것을 매우 영광으로 생각하며, 이제 저는 저를 항상 환영해준 한국 다큐멘터리 가족들의 일원이 되었습니다. 모두에게 행운을 기원합니다.


Paul’s Message to KDN

When I first set foot on Korean soil, I was completely ignorant about who the Korean documentary filmmakers were and what place documentaries occupied in the Korean media landscape. I met many talented and enthusiastic professionals but mainly acted as individuals, which made them vulnerable and poorly equipped to defend the local interests of the documentary genre or to bring Korean films to the international market. Today, I’m delighted to see that this has changed, and the Korean Documentary Network has taken it upon itself to act as de promotor of Korean documentaries, to bring together the country’s talents and to share information amongst its members in the spirit of “your success is my success, my success is your success”. I can’t emphasize enough how vital KDN’s work is. I’m very honored to have been invited to become an Honorary Member and consider myself now as a member of the Korean documentary family that always offered me such a warm welcome. Best of luck to all of you.
