New Release:

Shizuoka Cherry Blossom Festival

Held annually on the first weekend in April, the Cherry Blossom Festival is the biggest event of the year in Shizuoka City.  A seemingly uncountable number of people attend and/or participate in the three-day event at venues all over town.  Cherry trees throughout the city seem to miraculously comply by blooming just in time making for a dramatic backdrop to performances by thousands of participants.  What most don't know is that every year four local boys are selected to learn and perform an ancient and sacred dance on the main stage of the famed Sengen Shrine.

May 25, 2004 at Osaka Sakai Noh Theater

We were recently asked by ISHCC in Japan to create a short video of "Noh Hamlet in English". If you have never seen Noh, a typical performance lasts about an hour, but it was requested that we make the video 5 minutes or less. We created two versions, one condensed version of the story (5 Minutes), and the other a promotional trailer (2.5 Minutes).
