Hot Docs 2009: Action Boys Q&A

Q&A with director Jung Byung-Gil. Video after the jump.

The Q&A included short questions with largely one sentence answers. I’ve posted the most interesting questions/answers, but here’s some highlights as well:

- Byung-Gil continues to make movies. He has another movie coming out in Korea shortly. It is fiction.
- Director Ji died in a motor vehicle accident while moving between sets, not due to a stunt.

Question: Do they have a union for stuntmen in Korea?

Question: What made you want to make this movie?

Question: Why do stuntmen in Korea have such a bad image?

Question: Why do stuntmen have a bad image in Korea? (Follow up question to the above video.)

Question: How much to stuntmen make in Korea? (Also includes a sort of commentary by an audience member, who obviously works in the industry.)
