K-Drama & Film
Production support.
K-drama is now a global production category, with platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV+ funding Korean series at scale and international co-productions becoming routine. We support drama and film productions on the ground in Korea — primarily as fixer and local producer for incoming international productions, secondarily as production company on smaller original work.
Why Korea for drama and film
The industry is at peak output. Korean drama production volume hit record levels in 2024-2025 across streamers and broadcasters, with budgets for tentpole series rivaling US prestige TV. Crew depth, post infrastructure, and location variety match the volume.
Cost-effectiveness without quality compromise. Korean production costs are notably lower than US or European equivalents for comparable quality. This is a major reason international productions choose Korea for parts of their shoot.
Distinctive visual identity. Korea offers locations and aesthetics that aren't available elsewhere — traditional hanok villages, hyper-modern cityscapes, coastal islands, DMZ-adjacent landscapes — within a few hours of Seoul.
What we support
- Incoming international productions. US, European, or Asian productions shooting episodes or scenes in Korea. We handle ground production end-to-end.
- Co-production logistics. Bridging international financiers with Korean production companies — coordination, contracts, on-the-ground execution.
- Independent and short films. Smaller-scale narrative work where we serve as full production company.
- Documentary production. Crew for documentary shoots in Korea — interviews, observational work, archival access coordination.
- Second unit and pickup days. Specific pickup shoots, second unit photography, or insert days when main production is elsewhere.
