Viddsee and Mediacan (previously Media L), a Korean media conglomerate, signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) to enhance collaboration and cooperation between key players in the region’s storytelling industry. Viddsee and Mediacan will leverage each other’s strengths to seek out future opportunities in areas of IP development, production and VFX. In addition, both parties will work together with Mediacorp in the production of Viddsee’s Korean short film adaptation “Alienated”, due to launch end-2023 across Mediacorp’s network.
Mediacorp’s Alienated will be co-directed by next-gen Korean filmmaker Doyeon Noh who created notable stories like Night Watcher and 인형 (Human Form), which are available on Viddsee’s platform. With Mediacan’s post-production team behind hit shows like Kill Boksoon, Under The Queen’s Umbrella and Physical 100, Mediacan will bring their expertise and support in VFX, CGI, colour grading and other technical international-level skills.
