Jin Mo-young is a South Korean documentary filmmaker. He directed My Love, Don't Cross That River (2014).
Career
Jin Mo-young has been directing and producing television documentaries since 1997.[1] In 2012, he produced the feature film Shiva, Throw Your Life (directed by Lee Seong-kyu).[2]
Jin made his feature directorial debut in 2014 with My Love, Don't Cross That River, about 98-year-old Jo Byeong-man and 89-year-old Kang Kye-yeol, who'd been married for 76 years.[3] Jin filmed the elderly couple in their mountain village home in Hoengseong County, Gangwon Province for 15 months, until Jo's death.[1] My Love, Don't Cross That River won the Audience Award at the 2014 DMZ International Documentary Film Festival and Best Independent Film at the 2015 KOFRA Film Awards.[4] The film was a surprise hit at the box office, drawing 4.64 million admissions to become the highest grossing Korean independent/documentary film of all time.[5][6][7][8] Jin said, "I tried to shoot the lifelong love of the couple without affectation. [...] Life and death has great meaning. Since I wanted to produce content that could be widely consumed, I though the story was global and could move the hearts of everyone. [...] I didn't expect the response to be this strong. It appears that people from all age groups feel moved by the film. I think it's because it makes people realize what enduring love is about."[9][10][1]
Jin is currently filming his next project Outsider about North Korean defectors, which he calls "a story about a family on the borderline between being native and alien."[1]
