OAL is a film production company founded by KIM Yun-mi and KIM I-jung, with the name standing for “Once in A Lifetime”. After it debuted with the financing, the marketing and the distribution of <Another Family> (2013), it produced the web series <Eating Existence> (2015), based on the hit web comics of the same name. OAL made a splash in 2016 when it managed, against all odds, to make a profit out of <INSANE> (2015). The thriller, set in a psychiatric hospital and starring KANG Ye-won, an actor best known for her comic roles, was deemed too unconventional for the Korean market. In spite of this, OAL managed to secure the budget, which was judiciously set according to realistic box office expectations, and the film eventually pulled in a respectable 1 million admissions.Less
