Can you believe it’s been almost three years since the last time we screened Looking for Miku?! :O
Thanks to the pandemic, we haven’t been able to go to a con since Anime Los Angeles back in January 2020. We even missed our fifth anniversary, which would’ve taken place last year! 😦
Well, fret not, since we’ll be returning to Pacific Media Expo and screening on Friday, 21 October, at 7PM! And since we were given a longer-than-usual block, we’re going to do something we’ve been meaning to do for a while — screen the annotated version of the film!
Looking for Miku is my love letter to anime and pop culture so it’s chock full of Easter eggs; from sight gags to lines of dialogue, there’s some sort of homage every 24 seconds! With onscreen notes, the annotated version will point them all out as well as share bits of trivia about the production.
Come watch the award-winning* anime fan film, chat with the filmmakers about it, then see how many of the geek references you caught with the annotated version! (Admission to PMX is required to attend). RSVP on Facebook, and hope to see you there!
