South Korea today stands tall as an Asian cinema powerhouse, but not too long ago, it was an obscure region for the industry. Mirovision launched in 1998 as the country’s first international sales banner because Jason Chae — then a university student — wanted to promote young local indie filmmakers. “I was so clueless and fearless,” Chae, 44, tells THR in his office in Seoul. In 1999, Mirovision became the first South Korean film company to set up market booths at international film festivals.

Film is the latest project from the director of The Truth Shall Not Sink With Sewol.
South Korea’s Mirovision has launched sales on political documentary 7 Hours, directed by Lee Sang-ho (The Truth Shall Not Sink With Sewol, pictured).
The film investigates the seven hours former South Korean president Park Geun-hye was unaccounted for on April 16, 2014 – the day the Sewol ferry sank off the Southern coast of Korea, taking 304 lives with it, many of them high school students.
Park was removed from office last Friday (March 10) when South Korea’s constitutional court ruled on her impeachment over a wide-spread corruption scandal. Part of the accusations brought against her concerned the “missing seven hours” between initial reports of the ferry sinking and her first TV appearance of the day, seemingly ill-informed about the tragedy.
Originally an award-winning investigative TV journalist, Lee’s first theatrical documentary was The Truth Shall Not Sink With Sewol, co-directed with Ahn...

The Whistleblower director Yim Soon-rye will helm the forthcoming film about the celebrated painter.
South Korea’s Mirovision is launching The Whistleblower director Yim Soon-rye’s [pictured] upcoming biopic on the celebrated Korean painter Lee Jung-seob.
Mirovision head Jason Chae (The Housemaid) is producing.
Known for his paintings on the silver foil paper from cigarette packs, the iconic artist whose short life (1916-1956) spanned some of the most turbulent events in Korean history, has had works on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Mirovision says the biopic plans to portray his life “not only as a well-known highly-gifted artist but also as a human who went through a life full of ups and downs” – starting with his birth to a rich family, getting married to a Japanese woman, wanderings around Korea and “miserable” death.
