Director Youm Kyu-bock is utilizing the advanced capabilities of Unreal Engine to create highly detailed and realistic imagery for the film. Currently in production, "Long Long Night" is a collaborative effort by producers Googgoog and Studio Eon, with presentation by The Contents On.
Finecut's film slate also features "The Day She Returns," Hong Sangsoo's 34th film, which premiered at the Berlinale and is set for a theatrical release in the first half of 2026.
