Ep. 27 Unveiling North Korea's Film Secrets: Behind the Scenes with Nick Bonner on 'Aim High in Creation', Propaganda, and Making Movies in North Korea Discover North Korea

I chat with Nick Bonner, Koryo Studio director and producer/director of several movies & documentaries inside North Korea. He's the go-to man for facilitating these kinds of projects (and much more) in North Korea, and a film he co-directed also won an award a the Pyongyang International Film Festival. He's also the associate producer of Aim High in Creation, a film by an Australian movie producer Anna Broinowski. The film is newly available on Vimeo and there is also a competition running where you get the opportunity to rent/download it online! Listen until the end for how to enter... (or just skip to the link at the bottom!).
Massive thanks to Nick for the incredibly interesting chat!!!! Show him some love over at Koryostudio.com or email info@koryostudio.com for more info on art purchases and other projects in North Korea.
