Our Manifesto

The future of storytelling looks like you.

For decades, a small circle decided which stories could be told. That era is ending. costoftrying exists to back the voices that build cinematic worlds from community, not permission.

We make films with texture, restraint, and the patience to let silence speak. If you are building something honest, we want to see it.

Studio notes

costoftrying is a small, wandering team. We lean into texture, ambient sound, and the weight of silence. Based in Seoul, working anywhere the light feels honest.
