Notes
- Similar to recent omnibus films like "Tokyo!" & "Chengdu, I Love You," the movie "Camellia" will be an omnibus film centered around a city (in this case the port city of Pusan, South Korea).
- Japanese director Isao Yukisada stated that working on the "Camellia" is a payback to the city of Busan and the Pusan International Film Festival, which screened Isao Yukisada's 2000 film "Sunflower" and selected that flm as that year's New Currents Award winner. This helped launch Isao Yukisada's career onto the international arena.
- Pusan International Film Festival director Dong-ho Kim will act as producer for "Camellia".
- Production budget for each segment is 500 million won ($421,229).
- Filming began January 15th, 2010 and concludes March, 2010.
- As soon as production wraps up organizers plan to submit the completed film to the Cannes Film Festival (May) and the Venezia Film Festival (September).
- Early working title for the film was "부산 프로젝트" (Busan Project).
