The film 'Bogota: Land of Last Chance' unveiled a production still that raises expectations for the work.

The released production still draws attention as it features a variety of images of Colombia from Bogota to Cartagena, Colombia's capital and main stage of the film. The panoramic view of the city, which first climbed the hill, seems to convey the excitement and fear of facing unfamiliar land for the first time with stills alone. In line with director Kim Sung-je's intention to capture everyday spaces where the lives of locals are buried on the screen rather than famous tourist destinations, the still captured Bogota Street conveys a natural sense of life. In addition, colorful trucks carrying goods responsible for the livelihood of Korean merchants and soldiers guarding the path they pass raise questions about the unpredictable story. On top of that, the exotic visuals of Cartagena, a resort city next to the Caribbean, blend with the colorful vacation look of Gukhee and Suyeong, adding to the fun of creating a unique atmosphere.

"Is there a lot of talk about filming a location in Colombia?"C. I can't forget the first time I arrivedSong Joong-ki's impressions raise expectations for Colombia's exotic scenery that mesmerizes viewers. In order to recreate the unfamiliar and attractive atmosphere of South America realistically, director Kim Sung-je minimized set filming and maximized location filming. In addition, we were able to finish filming more successfully by receiving CINA incentives from Promagenes Colombia, a non-profit organization that provides incentives for domestic and foreign productions in Colombia and provides tax discounts equivalent to 35% of Colombia's spending. The exotic scenery and perfect reality captured through filming the Colombian location, which are rare in Korean movies, are expected to provide new attractions to audiences this winter.
