The rundown but swift Victory is one such vessel chasing after whatever looks sellable. UTS allows non-citizens from Earth to work as scavengers there, and they eke out a hazardous living by capturing and selling orbiting junk. For director Jo Sung-hee ( A Werewolf Boy, Phantom Detective), the movie shows a “social class divide between Earth and space” and “between those two classes are the main characters.” Also circling the globe are countless bits and pieces of satellites, wrecked vessels and assorted debris. The Earth has become almost uninhabitable (shown in an orange-hued Blade Runner-esque opening), and the wealthy live in an idyllic green colony high in orbit, established by the UTS Corporation. Produced by Bidangil Pictures, Space Sweepers is set in the year 2092. Other firms in Asia and the Americas also contributed,” says Visual Effects Supervisor Jeong Seong-jin, who worked with Visual Effects Supervisor Jeong Cheol-min. “We looked at their human resource infrastructures, and the VFX elements per sequence that best suited each company were distributed accordingly. Six Korean VFX studios helped bring Space Sweepers to life: Dexter Studios, WYSIWYG Studios, M83 Studio, Madman Post, Digital Idea and LIX Studio. Space Sweepers (original title: Seungriho) even has the harpoon-tossing, wisecracking Bubs – Korea’s first voice-acted robot character constructed through motion capture. And this year Netflix released Space Sweepers, South Korea’s first high-production sci-fi movie set in space, which features riveting action, compelling characters, a skilled balancing of humor with drama, and some 2,000 VFX shots. They find each other, just as he is being offered a job in Australia – at a high-end Italian restaurant called Di Stasio.South Korea has launched popular movies in various genres in recent years, such as Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi/action films Snowpiercer and Okja plus the zombie flick Train to Busan and #Alive. As he wallows in the space between what was and what will be, he meets a young Australian woman called Olivia (Maeve Dermody), restless in her marketing job and drifting towards relocating permanently to follow her design instincts. He is a chef in his early 30s, drifting after the unexpected death of his best friend. Marco (Flavio Parenti) is the male lead in her romantic drama, set in Udine in the north-east of Italy. "I read an article about his passion for Italy, and I thought, 'this is the kind of guy I need against Marco, who will bring out his ego, push his buttons'." "I wrote his character before I met him," says 40-year-old Melburnian Borgobello. He is also, in a roundabout way, a significant character in the first official Italian-Australian co-production. Ronnie Di Stasio, one of Australia's most famous (some might say infamous) restaurateurs played a major role in the feature film The Space Between, on-screen and off.ĭi Stasio is one of the half-dozen private sponsors who helped get the debut feature from Ruth Borgobello over the line. But finally, as you notice the name in the credits, you accept the inevitable. Then you wonder if it's just a coincidence.
