Miku’s Hollywood Dreamz! [2018]

We were fortunate enough to screen Looking for Miku last year in Las Vegas at Action on Film International Film Festival (AOF) where we were named Runner Up for Best Childrens/Young Adult Film. This year, we’re back at AOF’s sister festival, Hollywood Dreamz, where we’re also up for two awards!

Looking for Miku is up for Best Student Film and one of our leads, Tiffany Wolff, is up for Best Young Performer Female – Feature or Short! So proud of her!

Hollywood Dreamz is taking place at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas beginning Thursday, 16 August 2018, and running through Saturday, 25 August 2018. There are sure to be lots of great films and celebrity sightings; hope you can make it!

Looking for Miku’s Hollywood Premiere! [2018]

Thank you to everyone who attended AGC Pictures‘s award-winning* anime fan film Looking for Miku‘s red carpet Hollywood premiere at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres as part of HollyShorts Monthly Screenings! Thanks also to those who supported us by sharing and promoting the event!

We led off the block and then, for some reason, we were followed by four foreign films (guess they were confused because we have subs, lol). Most of them were pretty slick-looking and seemed to have high production values — no doubt due to the cooperation they got from their country’s film offices. I was awed that I was able to show my low-budget, guerilla-style, rough-around-the-edges first film alongside them! After a few other shorts, there was a very brief Q&A session. The previous block had run over so the host kept it short; even though he said he had questions for each of the creators on-stage, he actually only asked one of us a question.

Back in the lobby, everyone submitted their vote for Audience Favorite, aka “the filmmaker who did the best job of packing the audience”. (I think more honest results would’ve been achieved if they’d asked everyone to vote for their top two — basically, their friend’s film and their actual favorite). I didn’t expect us to win so I wasn’t disappointed, but I was very, very happy that everyone seemed to enjoy the film even though they had never heard of Hatsune Miku or Vocaloids!

Hopefully there will be more screenings in the future! Keep updated by following the blog (by clicking the “Resistance is Futile” button) or Liking any of my Pages (jimsha, The Vault/Beginning Story, and agc pictures) on Facebook to be instantly notified!
