Film
This is a mixture of the films I have made during my first and second year of college! There is a variety of films on this page- as the films I have created were based on prompts given by the professors. Some of these films have a narrative to them, one is an interview, and others are exercises to practice certain shooting techniques.
Cycles Unbroken: The Black Hole of Love
This is a film that I created for my Intermediate Film Production course. This is also the film that I screened at my sophomore showcase! The prompt was to create anything we wanted so I went the narrative route. This film is about a relationship that seems picture perfect on the outside, but as the film progresses the darker side of the relationship is revealed.
ROLE: Director/Writer/Editor
Drawn to Darkness
This is a film that I created for my Horror Production course. The prompt was simply to create a horror short film. This film is about a college art student who is stuck in a creative block. She can't figure out what to draw for her next project, when suddenly she thinks of an idea. As she starts drawing, she comes to the realization that the drawing looks like her. When blood starts to seep out of the drawing all of a sudden, the lines between fiction and reality start to blur.

The Bond of a Lifetime
This is a film that I created for my Intermediate Film Production course. The prompt was to create a portrait of anyone. I decided to make this project about my younger sister and our sisterhood. I always admired how my parents took many videos of my sister and I in our childhood, and looking through old and more recent videos, I realized that our younger selves and present selves have a lot in common. I used this to my advantage throughout this film.

Avant
This is a film that I created for my Intermediate Film Production course. The prompt was to shoot a long take. I always admired the aesthetic of ballet, as well as the calm before the storm when entering a dance audition. The colors, visuals, and sounds of putting on pointe shoes was one I always found pleasing and wanted to share that with the viewers.

February's Over
This is a film that I created for my Introduction to Film Production 2 course. This is also the film that I screened at my freshman showcase! The prompt was to create a film with little to no dialogue, and to make it about the human gaze. The film is about a complicated relationship between three friends - Hannah, Amy, and Jacob. Hannah and Amy both like Jacob, but Jacob only likes Amy back. Hannah - our main characer - scopes out her interest in Jacob through her gaze, but eventually gets caught by Amy, placing herself in an awkward situation.
ROLE: Director/Writer/Co-Editor
Angela Koh Fashion and Modeling Interview
This is a film that I shot for my Cinematography course. The prompt was to direct, shoot, and edit together a interview. I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Angela Koh. While I initially got to know Angela through dance classes at Rutgers, I interviewed her about her sense of fashion and modeling - another big part of her life! We had such a fun time shooting this interview together.

The Rule of Three (Act One)
This is a film that I created for my Screenwriting course. The assignment was to take our first act of the script we had been developing for the majority of the semester and translate it onto the screen - to actually shoot it. This story is about Amelia - our main character - who finds out heartbreaking news through an agenda accidently left behind by her boyfriend, Miles.

Ko Sisters Youtube Channel
My younger sister and I always loved to vlog videos while going on fun trips, long car rides, or errands, and so one day we decided to start a Youtube channel to share our little adventures! Our videos encapsulate our fun trips and adventures that the two of us go on together, and our sisterhood and personalties definitely shine through in these videos!
