Career
Roh Deok majored in film directing at Seoul Institute of the Arts.[1] She has directed several short films. Roh debuted as an assistant screenwriter for the 2003 film Save the Green Planet! directed by Jang Joon-hwan. Jang Joon-hwan and Roh are 10 years apart in age. At the time, Roh wondered if she would be able to release her own film within 10 years, and she did so with Very Ordinary Couple.[2]
In 2005, Roh Deok directed the short film The Secret Within Her Mask. The story centers on Jung, a ballet dancer who wears a mask to conceal her bearded face and appear more masculine. Despite warnings from her boyfriend and others against a risky hair removal surgery, Jung undergoes the procedure. As she lies on the operating table, she has a realization about her true self, recognizing her beard as a unique and cool feature. The film was screened at the 2006 Asiana International Short Film Festival and the 2006 Women's Film Festival in Seoul.[3]
Very Ordinary Couple, released in 2013, has been described by The Korea Herald and as containing "uncanny honesty and humor".[4][5][6][7] It also won the the Asian New Talent Award for Best Feature at the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2013.[8]
In 2015, Roh directed The Exclusive: Beat the Devil's Tattoo (2015), which follows a man who becomes embroiled in an uncontrollable incident due to a moment of wrong judgment. Her films have different styles compared to her debut directorial film, but they showcase the talent of director Roh Deok as a 'storyteller' and allow you to explore a wide spectrum.[1] Her 2015 film The Exclusive: Beat the Devil's Tattoo has been described as "thoroughly entertaining" by The Korea Herald.[4][5][6][7]
In 2016, the theater production company Ago Company sought a fresh perspective and approached Roh to direct the play "Closer." This marked her directorial debut in theater.[9]
