Интересные факты

Mongrels is a 2024 Canadian drama film, written and directed by Jerome Yoo in his feature directorial debut. The film stars Jae-Hyun Kim as Sonny, a Korean widower who emigrates to Canada with his children Hajoon and Hana after his wife's death; moving to a small town in the Canadian Prairies where he takes a job helping local farmers to cull the wild dogs that are plaguing their livelihoods, he finds that his status as a newcomer to Canadian society means he can relate more easily to the dogs than to his fellow townspeople.

Production

The film received production funding from Telefilm Canada's Talent to Watch program for emerging filmmakers in 2020, and was subsequently supported by Game Theory Films's new distribution initiative for BIPOC filmmakers in 2021.

Jae-Hyun Kim, a former Korean actor who had retired from the business and was living off the grid in a distant suburb of Seoul, was found and cast only after Yoo travelled to Seoul to search for actors, and was set up on a video call with Kim through a mutual acquaintance.
