Ahn's directorial feature début Alice in Earnestland is a dark drama with surreal comical overtones that falls somewhere between Park Chan-wook's The Vengeance Trilogy and Korean indie social dramas on the style spectrum. The film premiered at the 2015 Jeonju International Film Festival, where it picked up the Grand Prize in the Korean Film Competition.[2]
