New Toshiaki Toyoda Film Shooting In November! Plus He’s Starting a Band!
Posted by Todd Brown at 7:03pm.
Posted in Film News .
Well, this one’s a little bit light on details but I’m doing what I can to dig some more up.
One of my very favorite young directors right now is Toshiaki Toyoda of Blue Spring and Nine Souls fame. Last week I stumbled across what appeared to be an email address for the man so I fired off a quick message asking about the possibilities of his latest - The Hanging Garden - playing the international festival rounds and also about what he’s got on his plate next. I didn’t even remotely expect to get an answer, but looky looky ... his English is limited so it’s not perfectly clear, but you get the point:
“Hello, I’m Toyoda.
Thank you for your e-mail.
My another film is shooting in this November, showing next year. I have other plans. I will play live performance with music and movie. This performance is going to be DVD. If you invite me,I can play in the states. Thanks. Toyoda Toshiaki”
Now I know I’ve read about this film before - I believe in an article in the SF Indie Blog which now appears to be down - and if memory serves it’s about biker gangs. This music / film live performance vehicle is entirely new news to me, though ... I’ve already offered to find him a live performance venue here in Toronto if he comes with The Hanging Garden for the big film festival in September ... More info as I get it ... that link above will take you to The Hanging Garden trailer, incidentally. The Gomorrahizer dug it up a while back and it’s worth another look. A huge departure from his past work, by the look of things, but still pretty compelling ...

That’s pretty sweet. I wonder if he’d like to play in my attic?

Just heard back from his producer ... the next film will be the biker gang film, but no title yet.
