South Korean indie studio More In Group is using Hong Kong FilMart to launch its new feature film project “19 39.”
Director Park Jae-ho is setting a quick turnaround for the comedy-drama movie which has not yet been filmed, but which he plans to release in summer this year.
The story, written by Kim Min-Jung transports five 39-year-old women back to their childhoods, to experience high school and first love. Their happy memories contrast with present day reality as women on the cusp of middle age. The clash forces them to reflect on the true meaning of love and friendship.
(A similar theme is explored in current Jtbc-Netflix series “Thirty Nine” with three women all age 39 who juggle work, life and relationships. It was also previously explored in 2011 hit film “Sunny”.)
Park has set Lee So-yeon (the lead of TV series “Ms. Montecristo”), Son Yeo-eun (“Crazy Romance”), Jeon Hye-bin, Jung Soo-young...

Korean independent rights firm, More In Group is using Hong Kong FilMart to launch inspirational drama film “My Lovely Angel.”
The film focuses on the developing relationship between a lonely man and a deaf-blind girl, and its backers say that the attention it gathers on release will be used to promote legislation in Korea to help deaf-blind people, a proposal that has already been nicknamed the ‘Helen Keller law’.
Filmed in October and November last year in a post-covid-lull, the film is recently completed. It is now targeting a premiere at Korea’s National Assembly and a May 2021 theatrical launch.
Working with a $3 million budget, “Angel” was co-directed by Lee Chang-won and Kwon Sung-mo, a music and shorts director who was awarded the Sonje prize at the Busan International Film Festival in 2018.
The main roles belong to Jin Goo, one of the stars of Bong Joon-ho’s “Mother” and hit...
