Hong Sangsoo’s Locarno prizewinner “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes” and Kim Jin-yu’s “Journey There,” starring Justin H. Min, are drawing international attention as Seoul-based sales company Finecut completes additional territory deals. “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes” is described as a triple prizewinner at the 79th Locarno Film Festival, while “Journey There” is noted as the first Korean production to star the “Beef” actor.
Across the reports, Finecut is credited with securing sales for both titles in multiple countries and regions, with buyers named for “Journey There” in several Asian markets. Coverage also highlights that “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes” expands its reach through further deals following its festival success. One outlet frames the news as Finecut “rack up” international sales tied to recent awards, while another emphasizes the breadth of territories and lists specific partners.
While all accounts center on the same sales announcements, they vary in which countries are named and how much detail is provided about each film’s market rollout. Some stories focus on “Journey There” deal lists, while others lead with the Locarno win and then note additional territories as they come in.
