Focusing on local talent, the Final Kid production tracks a group of young break-dancers and a long-boarder as they travel to the festival, accompanied by gliding shots that vividly capture the energy of the bustling and vibrant city that is Seoul. A graffiti artist is also seen preparing a piece of work, before the lens slowly turns to reveal she's already at the
Olympic Stadium - the home of ULTRA Korea 2016. The graffiti showcased in the film actually ended up becoming one of six live art activations that ran throughout the weekend, and the project, which was headed up by six different artists from around the globe, proved to be one of the highlights of the weekend

About ULTRA Worldwide™ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ IS THE GLOBAL EDITION OF THE WORLD'S PREMIER ELECTRONIC MUSIC EVENT, ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL®.
The ULTRA brand in relation to live events was founded in 1997 in Miami by Executive Producer, President & CEO, Russell Faibisch, who began by producing electronic music events which led to the inaugural Ultra Music Festival® in 1999 on the sands of Miami Beach.
The internationally renowned festival, which has taken place every March since its inception, celebrated its eighteenth anniversary on March 18-20, 2016 by bringing over 165,000 music enthusiasts to the sold out waterfront event in the heart of the City of Miami. Ultra Music Festival®, recently voted the world's #1
Festival by DJ Mag, returns to Bayfront Park for its nineteenth annual edition on March 24-26, 2017.
Choosing to follow a unique and creative vision and a wholly organic growth focused on its true love for music, artists and fans alike, the ULTRA and ULTRA Worldwide™ brands represent not only the world's biggest and most successful remaining INDEPENDENT electronic music festival brand, but also the most international festival brand in the world. Event organizers continue to transport the unrivaled experience from the Miami flagship festival to an ever-growing number of destinations and Ultranauts all over the globe.
Over the past eighteen years, thousands of the world's most iconic DJs, producers and live acts have mesmerized audiences with awe-inspiring sets at ULTRA festivals in ARGENTINA, BALI, BRASIL, CHILE, CROATIA, IBIZA, JAPAN, KOREA, SOUTH AFRICA and of course MIAMI, as well as ROAD TO ULTRA® events in BOLIVIA, CHILE, COLOMBIA, JAPAN, KOREA, MACAU, PARAGUAY, PERU, THE PHILIPPINES, PUERTO RICO, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, THAILAND and the USA.

The ULTRA brands have pioneered the live stream experience with 'ULTRA LIVE' (bringing the festival online to over 20 million unique viewers globally) and the audio broadcasting platform 'UMF RADIO' (syndicated to FM Radio in over 62 countries and reaching more than 22 million listeners weekly).
