Now in the crispy year of 2023, Park makes his directorial debut with an adaptation of Adrian Tomine’s graphic novel. The story is centered around Ben (Justin H. Min), a struggling filmmaker from Berkeley, California, who begins to explore what he thinks he might want out of life after his girlfriend moves to New York.
