Directed by Kim Taegon, the film 'Escape: Project Silence' received acclaim at the Cannes International Film Festival, drawing attention to Dexter Studio, the company involved in the project.
Dexter Studio, a VFX and content production specialist company, announced on the 24th that it participated in VFX technology and investment for the film Silence. Silence had its world premiere as a midnight screening at the Lumi?re Grand Theatre in Cannes, France.
Previously, on December 14, 2021, Dexter Studio signed a VFX supply contract worth 4.9 billion KRW with the production company Vlad Studio. The contract period was until February 14, 2022.
A company representative stated, "We worked on VFX for about one year and six months starting from October 2020," adding, "It was a mid-to-long-term project." They further explained, "We realistically depicted complex disaster situations such as climate change and vehicle action, and used numerous special effects technologies to enhance the tension-filled story." They added, "We were also responsible for VFX and digital color grading, improving the overall quality of the footage," and "Our subsidiary, LiveTone, handled sound technology production, taking charge of the entire post-production process."
The film Silence depicts the survival struggle of people trapped on the Airport Bridge due to sudden severe weather deterioration. It delivers extreme tension unfolding amid consecutive disasters such as collisions, explosions, and collapses, making it a highly anticipated upcoming release in theaters. Even before confirming its domestic release date, it was pre-sold to over 140 countries worldwide, including France, the United States, Germany, Spain, and Italy.
Kim Wook and Kang Jongik, co-CEOs of Dexter Studio, said, "We are pleased to have our name recognized as a VFX studio in a work receiving global attention," and added, "We will continue to promote K-VFX to audiences worldwide through diverse content."
