Abstract

I will explore how changing political, economic, social, and cultural discourses and conditions have affected media production practices for filmmakers. By foregrounding the importance of production research, I call for a scholarly attention on the production process and practices of film -- as both cultural form and technology -- in which our ways of looking, of creating, of consuming have been tested, creating a variety of new contexts in which production practices take place. Tackling the production culture matters to me because the ways in which filmmakers have altered their production practices has profound implications for the content, aesthetics, and cultural meanings of film arts in the digital age.

Following Raymond Williams, David Bordwell, and John Caldwell as the theoretical basis, I will examine various film works including my own feature films -- The Return (2017) and Mira Story (2015).
