ABOUT THE FILM:
Based on filmmaker Benson Lee's own experience, SEOUL SEARCHING is an homage to the John Hughes teen dramedies of the 80s. The story centers on a group of Korean high school teens from around the world during the summer of 1986. Students from the U.S., Mexico, Germany, and UK are forced by their parents to attend a government sponsored "propaganda" camp in Seoul to learn what it means to be Korean, but end up experiencing a wild journey that turns into the most important summer of their lives.
