2025 Annual Awards Interviews: Junsang Yoo & Chok Suwanavisootr, Director & Lead Actor of “Bomb Voyage”

Join host Olivia Lyle (@olivialyle1) for an exclusive interview with writer-director Junsang Yoo and lead actor Chok Suwanavisootr, the creative duo behind Bomb Voyage, a 2025 Annual Awards finalist at IndieX Film Fest.

Recorded by Kyle Reed (@thekylereed) at Regal LA Live, Los Angeles, the conversation unpacks the tension, absurdity, and social anxiety that power this darkly comic short.

In Bomb Voyage, a claustrophobic man boards a cramped elevator only to find himself stuck with a mysterious stranger suffering from intense stomach issues. As suspicion builds and tempers rise, the confined space becomes a powder keg of paranoia and unease. Yoo crafts the situation with surgical precision, blending suspense with satirical edge, while Suwanavisootr delivers a solid performance full of nuance and unpredictable energy.

Watch the interview below to discover the challenge of balancing humor with dread, and how two men in an elevator came to represent so much more.
