Korean Sales Deals at Pusan

The Asian Film Market, an all-round business hub for the Asian film industry, wrapped up October 14 after a four-day run during Korea's Pusan International Film Festival (Oct. 8 – 16). Korean sales companies reported a number of deals during the market, though sales were fewer than in previous years.

M-Line Distribution sold its titles "A Frozen Flower" and "Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle" to Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Mirovision sold last year's horror hit "Deathbell" to Thailand, Japan, and France, and "Loner" to Thailand. Indiestory sold Korea's surprise documentary smash hit "Old Partner" to Taiwan.

Meanwhile CJ Entertainment is in the process of concluding sales deals of festival opener "Good Morning President", comedy-caper "Killer Bride's Perfect Crime", and Bong Joon-ho's "Mother - 2009" to Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and France. Also, P.A.M. Korea Media is concluding deals for "Bloody Shake" to Taiwan, India, France, Australia, and England.
