★★☆☆☆Based on the 1909 short story by Heart of Darkness scribe Joseph Conrad, Peter Fudakowski's debut feature film Secret Sharer (2014) is a handsomely made romantic drama which is ultimately sunk by its own clichés. Jack Laskey plays Konrad (a nod to the Polish author here) a young seaman, driven by his own ambition to take on the task of captaining a derelict old merchant ship in the South China Sea for the mysterious shady character known simply as 'The Boss' (Song Bin Zhu). Finding everything less than ship shape with a drunken ill-disciplined crew, a hanging garden installed in the gangway and his own doubts plaguing him, Konrad attempts to impose some authority to no real effect.

SEOUL -- Veteran filmmakers will mingle with aspiring first-timers at an increasingly internationalized 10th anniversary edition of the Pusan Promotion Plan, scheduled for Oct. 8-11 in the South Korean beach resort of Pusan, organizers said Tuesday.
The PPP -- under the Asian Film Market's umbrella since last year -- will feature 35 projects from 18 countries throughout Asia and several projects chosen from outside the region.
Broader than ever in geographical scope, this year's PPP includes international projects from Armenia and Nepal and seven co-productions with partners from outside Asia, including the U.S. and South Africa.
Chosen from 200 applications, the PPP selections this year include projects from such prominent producers as Terrence Chang ("Face/Off," Mission: Impossible II), Peter Fudakowski (Tsotsi), Tsai Ming-liang (The Wayward Cloud) and Hong Sang-soo.
With the mission of discovering and supporting promising Asian talent, the PPP has seen more than 90 of its 234 projects made into finished films. Among those titles are Siddiq Barmak's Osama, winner of the Golden Globe for best foreign language film in 2005; Wang Xiaoshuai's Beijing Bicycle, winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at Berlin in 2001; and Bong Joon-ho's The Host, which went on to become the highest-grossing film in Korean history.

The best foreign-language film Oscar win for Tsotsi represents a triumph not only for screenwriter-director Gavin Hood and producer Peter Fudakowski but also Daniel Battsek's new team at Miramax Films. The South African crime drama, which centers on a young thug (or "tsotsi" in local slang) who faces a moral dilemma after he's forced to care for a young child after a carjacking, came to life as a 1980 novel by acclaimed playwright Athol Fugard (Master Harold ... and the Boys). "He considered it an impossible book to adapt," said Hood, noting that the novel is told from the interior points of view of several characters. The director wanted to turn it into a film since the early 1980s, but had to come to the U.S. before he could realize his dream.
