Hyundai Motor-Backed 'Bedford Park' Wins Special Jury Award at 2026 Sundance Film Festival

Jan 30, 20261 min readHyundai Worldwide Newsroom

Hyundai Motor's investment in Bedford Park reflects its ambition to reimagine automotive branding through global content partnerships and narrative-driven storytelling. Moving beyond traditional advertising, the company is building a portfolio of human-centered content collaborations aligned with its vision of 'Progress for Humanity'.

As the global content landscape evolves, Hyundai Motor is expanding its brand communication strategies by championing creators, amplifying diverse voices, and exploring new forms of storytelling that transcend automotive themes to deepen the brand's engagement with global audiences. Looking ahead, the company aims to strengthen its presence in the global content industry through creative collaborations that inspire audiences and reflect the human experience.

Bedford Park is produced by Gary Foster (Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment), Chris S Lee (B&C Group), Nina Yang Bongiovi (Significant Pictures), Theresa Kang (Blue Marble Pictures) and Son Sukku (Stannum). Building on the success of the Night Fishing project—which earned recognition for its creative cinematic approach, including the Best Editing at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival and the Grand Prix at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity —Hyundai Motor and actor Son Sukku have continued a genuine and evolving creative partnership.
