So I was sitting at the opening dinner at the Berlin talent campus and was introduced to a Japanese filmmaker named Yuki Saito... we talked a bit about samurai films and the like and he was nice enough to give me a copy of his short film "Kakure-Oni"... I got back to California and watched it and wow it is like pure win! He fuses the best things from the old samurai films with the best things from new skool anime styles and mixes in guys in monster suits BUT in the way its lit and shot its not cheesy at all...its awesome!
"Kakure-Oni" All kinds of awesome!
