- by Kim Seong-Hoon / May 02, 2012
The film project <26 Years> (Cheongeoram Film, CEO CHOI Yong-Bae) has officially been resurrected.<26 Years> is based on an Internet cartoon of the same name, written by well-known webtoon author KANG Pool.The film is about a secret plot, developed by characters involved in the violent May 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement, to punish “the One” -- the main culprit of the massacre -- on the same day of its 26th anniversary.This project had originally been developed in 2008, but was shelved numerous times after funding suddenly disappeared. Given this, the producers of <26 Years> have decided to try to crowdsource the funding.Crowdsourced funding refers to a way of promoting ideas or potential projects through social media or other Internet venues, then returning any profits to individual investors after the project’s completion.“Prime the Pump for the <26 Years> Project” is officially en route to its goal of KRW 1 billion, and public funding will remain open until the end of May.
