Koreatown Ghost Story
Dir. Minsun Park & Teddy Tenenbaum

If you have a fear of marriage, Koreatown Ghost Story by Minsun Park and Teddy Tenenbaum may just unlock a whole new level of nightmare fuel. This haunting tale dives deep into the supernatural, exploring the generational intersectionality of Korean cultural traditions and modern Americanism. Perfect for spooky October, this film playfully balances camp and true horror, delivering an altogether personal commentary on what it’s like to live as a new generation of Asian-American. - S/W Curator, Chelsea Lupkin
