Seoul Searching 2015- U.S./South Korea

Seoul Searching is a film unlike any of the other films we review on this channel. Why you may ask? It has yet to be completely distributed in theatres. Directed by Benson Lee, a Korean-American filmmaker who was the creator behind Planet B-Boy, his newest film, Seoul Searching, made its debut as an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival and even went on to win the Audience Award at CAAMFEST. It was recently announced that the film will be breaking into 50 theatres in the U.S. and Canada this coming May. So, if you find this review enticing, make sure you check it out when it is released! I was very fortunate to see this film at the Dallas Asian Film Festival last year, where Director Lee was in attendance. Though this film is more of an American film than a South Korean film, with the amazing storyline, and how much this film deserves to be seen by everyone, It HAD to  be reviewed.
