The Seoul Film Commission has announced the recipients of its International Co-production Development Fund, a new film fund launched this year. The grant is to facilitate the development stage of feature film projects to be co-produced between Korea and any foreign country with at least 25% of location shooting in Seoul.
Five feature film projects and one documentary were selected to receive grants worth up to 18 million won ($14,200). Kraze Pictures, which produced the Korea-Japan action drama "Boat", was selected for its next project "Zuma Zuma Zuma", also a Korea-Japan co-production written by Japanese screenwriters Kobayashi Hideo and Don Shigero, and with a Korean director yet to be announced.
Other recipients were "Music City" by Side Kicks, a Japan-Korea co-pro documentary exploring the indie music scene in both countries, Rotterdam-based Insoo Productions' Motherland by U.S. filmmaker Doris Yeung, and starring Françoise Yip (Rumble in the Bronx) and Kenneth Tsang (Memoirs of a Geisha). Rounding out the selection were bom Film's "A Man and a Woman", Emotion Pictures' "On Your Journey" and Golden Arrow's "Singo" all of whom have not announced which countries they intend to collaborate with.
