We’re making progress.

We’re delighted to hear the good news that all four episodes of the mini-series “The Time Without Her” starring Kim Hyun Joong and Tensho Amane will be released on several Korean VOD platforms from tomorrow!!!!

We hope it will be well received by the Korean public, which is the only way to see it broadcast elsewhere.

For the record, this is a series co-produced by Japan (NagoyaTV) and South Korea.

With the Cannes Film Festival coming up, we’d be delighted to see this series screened as a film, out of competition of course, but as part of “Semaine du Cinéma” for example, or selected for “Un Certain Regard”.

There’s also what’s known as the “Quinzaine des Cinéastes”, a parallel and independent selection of the Cannes Festival, which aims to showcase contemporary cinema.

And why not see it screened at the “Marché du Film“, presented quite simply to hundreds of industry professionals, since this is the place where auteur films, independent films, mainstream films, genre films as well as animation and documentaries are presented to buyers from all over the world?

We’ll keep our fingers crossed…
