A film about a hard-partying group of friends in Los Angeles’ Koreatown will make its premiere at SXSW in the Narrative Spotlight category.

“Ktown Cowboys” was directed by Daniel Park and stars a Korean American cast that includes Danny Cho, Bobby Choy, Peter Joe, Shane Yoon, Daniel Dae Kim, Steve Byrne and South Korean comedian Kim Young-chul.

It is based on a YouTube series of the same name that was released in 2010 and which garnered more than 600,000 combined views.

“The group of friends band together in Koreatown and through late nights at seedy after-hour soju bars, karaoke drinking girls and even a stint in jail, each emerges as a better version of himself,” the film’s description reads on SXSW’s site.

The annual festival will be held March 13-22 this year.
