A non-profit production company · New York
We make short films with festival ambition and long memory, by and about the people who cross between Seoul and New York.
Support our next filmSeoul in New York is a non-profit film production company. We develop and produce original short films built for the festival circuit, and we fund them through the generosity of people who believe a small film can go a long way.
Our stories live in the space between two cities: immigrants, strangers, families, and the languages that pass between them. We shoot at the edges of the day, work with small crews, and spend every dollar on what ends up on screen.
Every project is chosen for one reason: it deserves a room full of people watching it in the dark.
In production · Arriving Fall 2026
One evening, two strangers meet on the bridge that joins Queens and Manhattan. A quiet study of distance, memory, and the city between two immigrants, shot at the edges of the day.
