Mirror (Chermin)
My thanks to Avery for pointing out this fine piece of celluloid. Fans of kaiju and tokusatsu films - Japanese giant monster and masked hero films, respectively - will want to take a good hard look at the trailer for Greenside a new US indie that takes the films of Japan as an obvious starting point. But here’s the thing, this isn’t just aping or imitating the genre, it was obviously made by someone who loves and respects these films and - most importantly - wants to make a good one of their own. Very well shot with striking villains, a likable lead, solid martial arts and very impressive CG touches this thing looks like a blast and I can’t wait to see more.
You’ll find the trailer in the Twitch Player below the break.

Hey I’m Eric Lim, the producer and lead of this film (thank you for saying I’m likable by the way.) I just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that you can follow this film at http://www.zerotrooper.com. This is indeed a second installment to a previous picture that I had directed and produced, Zero Trooper-F. Greenside should be about 40 minutes when all is said and done; hopefully, the whole project will be done by June. So please keep checking back at http://www.zerotrooper.com. Thank you twitch film people.
