KIM Soon-mo is a producer who is mainly known for his work at Kim Ki-duk Film and ATO. Despite a previous experience in film from his work as a location manager and unit production manager for horror comedy <Spellbound> (2011), it is only in 2012 that he decided to attend a film school. Indeed, his experience as a producer for the short <Lost In Transportation> from WOO Moon-gi, then a student of Korea National University of Arts, convinced him to enter the same school. He also received the same year an offer from KIM Ki-duk to work as a producer and distributor. <Pieta> (2012) marked the beginning of a long collaboration between the two filmmakers that would yield internationally praised works such as <Moebius> (2013) and <THE NET> (2016). Having joined film production and distribution company ATO upon its establishment in 2014, he has notably produced YOON Ga-eun’s <The World of Us> (2016). A producer and distributor who is used to work alone on low budget projects, he co-founded in 2017 his own film company MOTTO and produced for KwangHwaMoon Cinema the critically-acclaimed indie melodrama <Microhabitat> (2018).Less
