Help set up the first Kaiju international film festival

Be the proud corporate sponsor of what may be the first annual International Kaiju Film Festival. Named for the popular Japanese term for giant monster movies, the festival would, of course, feature films starring Godzilla and other famous creature stars from the Toho Co. Ltd. stable. But we would also feature films starring Gamera and other monsters created with “suitmation”, the Japanese technique of using suited actors to portray giant beasts. In addition to full length motion pictures by Toho and its chief rival Daiei Motion Picture Company, the festival plans big screen exhibitions of cult classic giant monster TV shows like Ultraman. The annual event would also feature speakers, panel discussions, memorabilia and collectibles and would be promoted internationally through fan organizations and over the Internet through a regularly updated blog. Successful screenings of Godzilla: Final Wars, the last in the Godzilla series, at the 2005 New York Asian Film Festival and 2005 Seattle International Film Festival show the crowd drawing potential of such an event. If this sounds like a unique sponsorship or tax deductible project for your organization or you would like to get involved, please contact us.
