As soon as I made my account I was hoping that there would be a section on the forum where you could introduce yourself, but given how many forum members there are I realized that would probably be a pain.
But I wanna introduce myself anyways because like I said I've been a long time reader on both the news page and the forums, but this is my first time becoming a member and posting.
I decided to after seeing one of the videos for the Indiegogo Campain Henshin Justice is doing in the what does HJU mean to me.
And given my love of Kamen Rider and the many Sentai Shows and Ultraman, etc. I thought it should be time that I become more involved in this great community.
I've been interested in Tokusatsu since I was a kid and I saw Ultraman in an english dub. Something my father had seen back when he was a kid. Of course it started way before then with cartoons like Voltron and Battle of the Planets.
But that love grew when Saban brought Super Sentai in the form of Power Rangers to the U.S. Then when I got this english language toku magazine at my local comic shop in NYC and found out Power Rangers was based on japanese shows and what the original shows were about my love deepened.
Which then lead me to finding the original shows and watching them. My story is probably typical of a lot of peoples story on this forum. But thats what probably makes this such a great community.
But I love tokusatsu so much that I wanna do what other companies in the 90s couldnt do or didnt do and bring original toku creations to america, to american television with the same production value you get in japan and the same fantastic writing.
I'm an independent film writer and right now I have a project I co-wrote thats going to be shot in thailand (were in early production right now) next year. I'm also working on scripts for other projects that are going to be shot next year.
One of the projects I'm working on with indie producers is going to be a metal hero movie. But we've just started talks on that one. So it probably won't see the light of day till 2014.
And early next year I'm going to be filming a tokusatsu short.
But basically what I wanna do is bring original creations to american television and show that shows just as good as Power Rangers or better can be done on U.S. TV and succeed.
That there is an audience out there for u.s. based original Toku creations and giant monster movies. I know it will be an uphill battle, but we have a very complex plan and a don't give up attitude.
And I hope that when we are able to reveal our ideas to you guys and other toku fans out there that you will take to them just as you took to Kamen Rider, Zyuranger, Dairanger, Gokaiger, Kamen Rider 555, Ultraman, Space Sheriff Gavan and others.
And I hope to also become a long lasting member of this fantastic community of Tokusatsu fans.
