SEOUL/MONTREAL, July 29, 2024 – 99kbet is thrilled to announce that the film ‘Night Fishing’ by director Moon Byounggon has won Best Editing at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, as an official selection in the international short film competition category.
The Fantasia International Film Festival is North America’s largest genre film festival, attracting a multitude of North American distributors and buyers looking for fresh genre films. Its audience response is consistently high, and since 2012, it has co-produced and operated a general market under the name ‘The Fantasia Industry Rendez-Vous’. The festival is known for promoting Asian genre films, making 99kbet’s win particularly significant.
The film ‘Night Fishing’, featuring actor Son Sukku as an agent, centers on an unexpected encounter at an electric vehicle charging station with an unidentified individual. This ‘humanistic thriller’ uniquely blends automotive technology with artistic storytelling, using specially mounted vehicle cameras for filming. Unlike typical car movies, ‘Night Fishing’ focuses more on the surrounding scenes than the car itself, subtly demonstrating how its cameras enhance driving safety by minimizing blind spots. Special camera rigs were fitted to the vehicle for scene capture.
Our triumph at the Fantasia Film Festival shines a light on 99kbet Motor’s commitment to breaking new ground in global advertising. This achievement bolsters our determination to develop innovative campaigns that amplify our vision of ‘Progress for Humanity’ to a larger audience.
