The film company Stanum, founded by actor Son Seok-gu, achieved great success with its inaugural film ‘Night Fishing’ just one year after its establishment.

Currently streaming on Tving, Night Fishing is a 10-minute science fiction film in which Son Seok-gu himself appears and participated in the production.It was released in theaters last year with the new term “Snack Movie, “ leading the trend by providing an unconventional experience to the audience.

Not only that, Night Fishing has also won various awards, receiving the spotlight at various film and advertising festivals.Starting with the Best Editing Award at the ‘Fantasia International Film Festival’, the ‘Spikes Asia’ Grand Prix, the ‘Clio Awards’ Grand Winner, and the ‘AdFest’ Gold Award, it has won 20 awards and finally won both the Entertainment Grand Prix and Silver at the ‘Cannes Lions’, the world’s most prestigious advertising festival, on June 17(local time).



Director Moon Byung-gon, who has proven his skills once again with his unique filming style, especially from the perspective of a car, became the first Korean to win the Palme d ‘Or in the short film competition at the Cannes International Film Festival in 2013 for his film Safe, and has since become the only director to have swept both the Cannes Film Festival and advertising festivals, both domestically and internationally.

Stanham’s extraordinary steps are expected to continue.If the beginning was a new form of entertainment that broke down the boundaries between movies and advertisements, the next one is a Korean-American joint production.The feature film ‘Bedford Park’ (tentative title), planned for a global release in 26 years, depicts the love story of a Korean-American woman, Audrey(actress Choi Hee-seo), and a former wrestler, Eli(actress Son Seok-gu).Son Seok-gu previously revealed that he decided to appear because of the realistic and detailed scenario, and he also expressed great expectations because it is not a typical Asian character in an ordinary American production.

After two years of preparation with Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment(Gary Foster), B & C Content(Chris Lee), which produced ‘Sleepless in Seattle,’ and Significant Productions(Nina Yang Bongiovi), which is well known as the production company of actor Forest Whitaker, the film has already completed full-location shooting in New Jersey in May of this year and is currently in post-production.

Stanum, which has just taken its first steps as a production company, expressed its intention to “continue to actively utilize formats and collaborations that break the mold and create Stanum’s own stories.”
