Toypunks is a documentary film that’s underway and scheduled for release in fall 2007. In this movie we’ll be offering a rare first-hand glimpse of the converging worlds of Japanese street, punk and toy culture through in-depth interviews and on-location shooting in Japan and the US. We’ll be sitting down with several of the top fashion designers, toy makers and artists in Japan and illuminating the fact that most of these influential creators find deep roots in DIY, punk and outsider attitudes.
Later, we’ll be talking with top US artists and toy makers
on the American West and East Coasts, seeking parallels between their lives and those of their Japanese contemporaries.
So get ready. toypunks are go!
