Sakura Matsuri Teaser
We’ve cut a little teaser from the 16mm we shot of our popstar Reni Mimura at the Sakura Matsuri Japanese street festival a few weeks ago. Hope you like it.
You can see the clip in higher quality on vimeo.
Ok, but I don’t want just any mermaid tail. I want the best mermaid tail ever, from the tail man.
Ruchiki Director Matt Paley, in reference to the upcoming, mermaid-chic Music Video shoot for Ayumi Takanawa’s faux-hit single.
In February, we trucked out to The Autumn Bowl—a pretty gnarly, if rat infested members-only skatepark in Greenpoint, Brooklyn—to shoot promotional material for EAT IT!, the sadistic-reality-show-within-the-movie that brings Rachel and Ayumi together..
Check out some stills from the RedOne camera, of Banner Tutilo (played to perfection by our beloved Richard Jordan) and his band of maniacs.
SUPERCUTE!/Kate Nash Tour Dates
Our beloved Rachel is currently on tour with her band, SUPERCUTE!, opening up for Kate Nash. If you love Ruchiki, all-girl ukelele bands, or songs which discuss not singing about boys, you may want to try and catch them on tour.
First look at the Ruchiki Poster!
This first proof of the Ruchiki poster, by graphic designer Alexey Malina, has us all super-excited.
Matt, Brian, Sasha and Jake headed down to Washington, DC recently to see (and film) Reni performing at Sakura Matsuri, one of the largest Japanese cultural festivals in the US. A few select stills of Reni (and Brian) in action.
Pickering Test Rolls
In January, during our seven days in Pickering, Ontario, the Ruchiki photography crew shot several rolls of 16mm to explore the visual landscape of the film.
They blew us all away.
See them all after the jump.
