Han emphasized that filmmakers must embrace uncertainty to craft narratives that resonate beyond familiar formulas. His remarks highlighted the tension between commercial pressures and artistic ambition in contemporary streaming production.
The session underscored Busan's role as a platform for industry dialogue on creative process, not just market transactions. Han's perspective reflects a broader conversation among Asian creators about sustaining distinctive voices within global distribution models.
