Firstly, I just discovered you and your work, and I want to thank you because it's all so great and amazing and I LOVE IT. Secondly, personally, I'd love it if you posted some of your pre-production notes/film references so that we could get a more in-depth view of the process of making a webseries. I just think that's really valuable.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It really does mean a lot, since I felt for a longish while that I was making my work in a vacuum and then sending it off to film festivals where the audience wasn’t necessarily as responsive to my shippy short films, haha. So the fact that you found my work and enjoyed it is so incredibly wonderful to hear, and it’s the reason I keep making work for the internet.

And I’d be happy to do more pre-production/film referencey-type notes. I was planning - still am planning, just been a bit swamped this past week - on adding my production notes on each episode upon my reblog of the episode post. Before I write the first one though, what sort of behind-the-scenes production-y things would you guys like to know? I was mostly going to talk about working with the actors and possibly some of the creative choices we made as a team (along with the DP and production designer and makeup artist, the crew members on set who I usually work with most closely) - I could go into some of the technical aspects as well, though our DP onthewallnow would probably be better at discussing those aspects in detail.

Let me know what you’d like to know and I’ll do my best to answer! (Not just you, anyone in the KITR tag reading this, really.)

Much love,

I'm not sure what would interest me specifically, and I suspect that your (Yulin's) choices will make for more-compelling details than my trying to guess what's going to be interesting. But I'm generally interested in all of it, with maybe an emphasis on how you found and how you manage to work so successfully with your various collaborators.

I'm also really curious how you made the rain in KiTR Ep. 1 look so good. It's like a third on-screen character.

Thanks.
