‘The Last Stop in Yuma County’ Takes Top Prize at Bucheon Fantasy Film Festival


'The Last Stop in Yuma County' claims the top prize at South Korea's Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.

“ The Last Stop in Yuma County,” a crime thriller directed by Francis Galluppi and set around a restaurant in Arizona, won the KRW20 million ($14,500) Bucheon Choice feature award. JT Mollner was named best director in the same section for his “Strange Darling,” a retro-feel, horror-romance with what the jury called, “an exhilarating and engaging narrative, challenging genre and character stereotypes and subverting implicit bias.” The main competition jury was headed by multi-award-winning Korean actor Park Joong-hoon, with other members including academic Kim Seonah, Japanese director Sabu and U.S. producer Jason Taylor (“X-Men: First Class,” “2067”).
