Leading independent producers from Asia and Europe showed the complicated routes taken in making indie films that are co-produced between the two regions.
They were gathered on Monday at Platform Busan, the Busan International Film Festival’s venue for sharing experiences.
Raymond Phathanavirangoon, a Bangkok-based producer and co-founder of the Seafic script lab, took the audience on the myriad paths taken by 2016 multi-country co-production “Apprentice,” by Singapore’s Boo Junfeng, that he co-wrote and co-produced.
The project was introduced in 2012 at the Rotterdam CineMart, then benefited from the Busan Asian Cinema Script Development Fund and Singapore’s Media Development Authority Development Fund before going to the Jerusalem Script Lab the same year. In 2013, the project received funding from Germany’s Film – und Medienstiftung Nrw and France’s Aide aux Cinemas du Monde.
In 2014, Germany’s Zdf Das Kleine Fernsehspiel did a pre-buy. The same year “Apprentice” received a Singapore Media Development Authority Production Grant.
