K-Pop The Movie as they plan out the theatrical teaser that's to be released soon.

Windcrest, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/24/2013 -- We met up with the crew of K-Pop The Movie as they plan out the theatrical teaser that's to be released soon. There was talk here and there on potential cast mates, as well as collaborations with other studios including some in South Korea. "The teaser basically gives fans an idea on what themes the movie will consist of," stated production assistant Jessica Ngun. "But a teaser does what it's suppose to do...tease." Not wanting to give away any of the surprises the film project, trailer, and teaser had, the Ani-Flix Studios crew focused on other subjects such as KCON 2013.

Missing out on KCON

KCON or Korean Convention happens twice a year, an event hosted by KOTRA, Korean international exchange and trade, and MNENT, Korean entertainment. It's an opportunity for k-pop artist and fans to interact with one another. It's also an opportunity for businesses to showcase a product, project, or provide services and exchanges; in other words, this would have been a glorious event for people to get word of K-Pop The Movie. So not only did the in house producers of Ani-Flix miss out on the opportunity to interact and get fans excited for the project, but they also missed an opportunity to get some actual k-pop artist interested. The KCON 2013 line up consisted of groups such as f(x), Missy Elliot, 2AM, GDragon, and more; needless to say, there wasn't a lack of talent. Interacting with the agents, and managers of the k-pop artist could possibly have brought some of them on board for roles in the movie.

Although the advantages of attending KCON 2013 seem inevitable, the disadvantages can't be ignored either. A staff member got word of the event early in August from an event coordinator of KOTRA. They were invited to set up a business booth for a small fee, a good deal. Upon having a staff meeting to discuss whether to attend, it was decided they would pass this year. "This movie is still in development," states Miranda. "If we would have went, we would literally have nothing to show except for teaser posters. We don't hit pre production until October when casting starts." Fans would have left the booth disappointed or confused at the lack of organization, something no business wants as a outcome during a promotional event.

Then there was the overshadowing of the MTV VMA Awards 2013. After certain performances performed, the internet and social media blew up with images and tweets about the award show. "It probably wasn't a good idea to have KCON around the same time as the music awards. People can't stop talking about Miley Cyrus twerking and Justin Timberlake reuniting with Nsync for a bit."

Will K-Pop The Movie attend next year's KCON?

"Yes, we hope to," Miranda continues. "It would be even better if we could also have the premiere screening there too."

All over YouTube there are videos of kids, school bands, mothers and sons, fathers and daughters dancing to the hit Korean pop song.

Windcrest, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/19/2013 -- All over YouTube there are videos of kids, school bands, mothers and sons, fathers and daughters dancing to the hit Korean pop song, 'Gangnam Style' by performer Psy. A music video that was able to break dozens of YouTube records by being the most watched video on the site. His follow up single, 'Gentleman' was even able to beat out Justin's Bieber's video view count for 'Baby'. Although K-pop was around way before Gangnam Style, it has since blew up.

K-Pop The Movie is being produced by an independent studios within the big state of Texas by the name of Ani-Flix Studios, or AFS for short. The story will focus on two Korean artist in the K-pop music scene, and their struggle and rise to the top of the entertainment industry. Not only will the characters be breaking country boundaries but also breaking race, and stereotype boundaries as well. The movie will bring up topics such as greed, stress, suicide, sexuality, and more surrounding Korean culture and identity. "We want this project to be really big for us. We want a good producer behind it, a good director behind it; we already have a good director of photography behind it," says screenwriter, Candice Rogers. "But at the same time, it's really important for us to have a diverse crew, and cast so we can be real with this story and to the K-pop fans."

How can a small independent company put together such a film that will succeed?

Ani-Flix has a vision and they have a mission; one of the values Ani-Flix believes in is diversity on the screen. To help make this project succeed is by having a crew and cast who believes in the project; this is a concept that's the same for any business. When a business has employees who work with them to better serve the community, and/or their customers, they tend to have a higher success rate than those who don't. "Not to be unprofessional," states Rogers. "But it's a real drag working with people who don't wanna be there. It can put the project, the product, and overall outcome in jeopardy."

Just like a smile is universal, music is universal. There isn't a place a foot can step where the occupants don't know of Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber, and now Gangnam Style. There was a time where reggaeton was really popular in the United States; and now, K-pop is popular throughout the world thanks to internet new media. K-pop is a story waiting to be told, and with fans willing and wanting to listen.

The diverse staff of AFS knows how big of a following K-pop has with millions of people all over the world. With a target audience already there and growing, they decided to take it one step further and feed the hunger many of these fans have for K-pop, but at the same time still send a enlightening message.

So what can you expect from them?

"You can expect us to bring you awesome dance moves, awesome original K-pop songs," Rogers goes on to add. "And of course, drama."
