NAMOO
Directed by 2021 Oscar nominated director Erick Oh and produced by 9x Emmy Award winning Baobab Studios, Namoo—which means “tree” in Korean—is a narrative poem come to life expressed as animated cinema and Oh’s most ambitious work to date. Inspired by the passing of Oh’s grandfather, the film explores one man’s journey from beginning to end. Namoo is a deeply personal yet surprisingly universal piece that has been created with the hope of uniquely resonating with each audience member. During the pandemic, many wonder what fulfillment is and what are the things we most value when we pass; Namoo explores this head on.
