Sci-Fi Western ‘Hum’ Heads to Tokyo Gap-Financing Market


“A special moment for our team is when we were awarded the ArteKino and the Sorfond Award at the [Busan] Asian Project Market, because it was our first market with this film and validated all of the work put into script development,” says producer Hannah Schierbeek. “We are at a stage in our development where we are now thinking critically about the set up of our production as well as the distribution and marketing of the film, and would love to meet people who can help us explore possibilities during production and beyond,” Schierbeek says. “I’m quite fortunate to be working with them for Don’s past two shorts and now, in ‘Hum.’ Having received grants from the Sundance Institute, Polish Film Institute, Film Development Council of the Philippines and the Gold House, we’re hoping we close the gap in Tokyo and hopefully bring in an equity investor or sales agent to the project.”
