iHQ-Nabi Pictures to Invest in Joint Asian Film

Film officials of South Korea, China and Hong Kong are planning a jointly invested film production.

Leading Korean entertainment firm iHQ and the Beijing Polybona Film Distribution Co. will be the joint investor and distributor.

The film 'Yeonaehabsida' ("Let's Date") by a Chinese producer--with most of the cast members also Chinese--will initially be released in China. A favorable response will then lead to releases in other Asian countries.

Domestic film agency Nabi Pictures says the project is a new type of joint production in that a Korean firm recruited Chinese staff and cast to make a movie targeting the Chinese market.

Nabi Pictures President Kim Seong-su says "It's the first time that three Asian countries are collaborating from the initial brainstorming and planning stage in a film production".
