His mentor and only friend, DON, is a retired gangster with a parallel desire to leave the former world behind. But as Sam tries to balance revenge with reconciliation, he is drawn into the shadowy world he had left behind. Can Sam undo his mistakes before losing what he came back to save? - 1 - U N D O I N G D I R E C T O R ’ S S T A T E M E N T The story of UNDOING came to me upon my return from working overseas. A few years ago, I spent a little more than a year directing TV in Singapore. On a professional level, I found the experience to be both challenging and rewarding, however, throughout my time abroad, I became keenly aware of the disconnect between myself and my environment. Being an American-born Korean and working in a foreign country, I was missing home. The relationships and circumstances I had left behind were constantly on my mind. While working in Singapore, I was surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar faces - the Chinese production staff, the Malaysian camera crew, the Indian studio technicians, etc.
