film project

by StrongholdProds＠aol.com

Hi, I'm a director/producer based in the US and I'm preparing my latest film project for production. The project is an edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller. The film will have a theatrical release and then I plan to fully exploit the TV, cable and DVD/video markets. Being a quality low-budget, genre movie it has a strong potential for high profits. In addition to a readied shooting script, I have a business plan with budget and sales estimates, and I have a production team set to go. I already have 40% of the production budget in place, therefore, I'm looking to complete the financing and possibly secure a distribution deal. Please contact me if you're interested in reviewing my project. Yours truly, Brent Bambic Executive Producer Stronghold Productions phone 305.864.8788 cell 310.420.2014 _strongholdprods(a)aol.com_ (mailto:strongholdprods@aol.com)

by Nelly

Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are proud to announce that <Green Chair> directed by PARK Chul-su will have its world premiere at the upcoming 2005 Sundance Film Festival. <Green Chair> is part of Sundance’s first World Dramatic Competition section (Find the screening dates and locations below). Together with <Green Chair>, we would be delighted to discuss our other titles in detail with you at Sundance. Please forward the dates of your stay in Sundance and your contact information during the festival to nelly(a)mirovision.com. Best regards, Nelly Chang Int’l Division, Mirovision Inc. Mirovision at 2005 Sundance Film Festival World Sales - Mirovision Inc. 1-151 Shinmunro 2Ga Chongro Gu, Seoul 110-062 KOREA Tel: 82 2 737 1185 Fax: 82 2 737 1184 Email: <mailto:sales@mirovision.com> sales(a)mirovision.com Contact during Sundance 2005 (Jan. 21-30) Nelly Chang: 626-319-6127 Green Chair Directed by PARK Chul-soo 98 min. / 2004 / Drama / Korea Cast: Suh Jung (‘The Isle’), SHIM Ji-ho *Screenings on Jan.22 21:00 Egyptian Theatre, Park City Jan.23 24:00 Holiday Village Cinema III Jan.24 24:00 Egyptian Theatre, Park City Jan.2 22:30 Trolley Square Cinemas C, SLC >From the acclaimed director <301, 302> With a film as erotically charged and aesthetically adventurous as it is emotionally truthful, veteran director Park Chul-soo brings us the provocative story of amour fou between a 32-year-old divorcee and a 19-year- old college student (who under Korean law is considered a minor until he turns 20). After being arrested and sentenced to community service for corrupting a minor, beautiful, enigmatic Moon-hee attempts to ditch handsome young Hyun. But Hyun refuses to disappear, and the two, magnetically drawn together, go on the lam, escaping to a hotel room where they rapturously discover each other through sex that is as raw and intimate as any seen on screen. As the film progresses, so, too, does their trust in each other and their confidence in their unorthodox choices. Park brings an extraordinary intelligence, sensitivity, and spirited lightness to the story of an egalitarian relationship that continuously defies expectation as the lovers test the frontiers of sensation, communicate in ineffable ways, and improvise an unconventional family. Park shifts stylistic gears with a humorously theatrical, almost surrealist culminating scene in which an unlikely group--including Moon-hee's feminist supervisor, her criminal case investigator, and Hyun's entirely accepting mother--weigh in with Greek chorus-like opinions on this rare partnership. Full of stylistic surprises and magical moments, Green Chair is a celebration of living in the moment and a profound meditation on maturity and innocence.- Caroline Libresco Antarctic Journal Directed by YIM Phil-sung TBA / 2005 / Adventure Thriller / Korea Cast: SONG Kang-ho(‘Memories of Murder’) , YU Ji-tae(‘Old Boy’) Point of Impossibility, Where the Antarctic becomes Madness Led by a charismatic team leader, CHOI Do-hyung(SONG Kang-ho), a six-men expedition team tries to reach the unreachable point in the Antarctic.
