Hi guys,

My Hong Kong horror feature project Rigor Mortis has been selected as part of the NAFF 2009 It Project market at the Puchon International Fantasy Film Festival. Each year, they pick 19 genre projects out of Asia and beyond to participate:

Let me know if anyone has gone there before and I'd love to hear feedback on Puchon.

Thanks!

I just checked the site, it's not too specific but it does seem like it's in the same area as before, maybe a few venues have changed but they do mention Boksagol Culture Center and Songnae Stn which I know of. Strangely enough my cousin moved to teach in Korea and ended living in that area, which was pretty weird to her because it's such a typical suburb and she couldn't figure out why I knew the area and my way around.

There's plenty of places to go out for a few drinks and eating in the area. Not too sure about shopping but I doubt there's anything great around. But if I was alone I'd rather take the train into Seoul and explore.

Enjoy!

I've been there in 2005, which was the first year they split after the Bucheon city hall and the president of the festival until 2004 got into a fight. I think it was in July at the time, both festivals, the Puchon Fantastic and the first Real Fantastic Fest (which was created by the fired president).

I can't say much about Bucheon, it's a suburb, pretty much. But I guess as a participant they might have some events and parties for you and such so it shouldn't be too bad. But as a non-Korean speaking foreigner, it's all kinda dull, unless they relocated the venues (used to be in the Songnae area, dunno these days). At least you're a short train ride away (about an hour) from Seoul so you can easily go and see stuff on your free time.

Quentin Lee is a producer, writer and director based in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Hong Kong. He grew up in Hong Kong, immigrated to Montreal as a teenager and went to UC Berkeley for college where he received a B.A. in English. He then went to Yale and UCLA for his M.A. in English and M.F.A. in Film Directing respectively while he was hustling the film festival circuit with a feature collection of his shorts called Flow.

Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 1997, Quentin Lee’s first feature Shopping for Fangs opened to critical acclaim during its limited theatrical release in the U.S. Quentin wrote, co-directed (with Justin Lin), produced and self-distributed Shopping for Fangs through Margin Films. The success of Fangs paved way for Quentin's second feature Drift and Justin Lin's 2002 Sundance hit Better Luck Tomorrow.

Following Fangs, Quentin returned to a more personal realm; he produced, wrote and directed Drift, a drama that became a hit in the gay and lesbian film festival circuit and was sold to Wellspring Media. It was also released theatrically to rave reviews in Los Angeles.

Ethan Mao is Quentin's third feature as a writer/director. Premiered at the AFI Film Festival 2003, it also won the Audience Award at the Turin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and was sold worldwide.

0506HK is Quentin's first feature documentary about his emotional attachment to Hong Kong. It features Hong Kong cultural icon Kam Kwok Leung, filmmakers Peter Chan and Teddy Chen, documentary director Tammy Cheung, and animator Raman Hui. The feature world premiered as part of Vancouver International Film Festival's "Hong Kong Stories."

Quentin is currently at work on several features such as The People I've Slept With, Chink, and a documentary short titled "Chinese Class."
