GKIDS RELEASE: TOKYO GODFATHERS

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][us_separator][vc_column_text]Tokyo Godfathers, the acclaimed holiday classic from master director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Perfect Blue), returns to theaters in a brand-new restoration.

In modern-day Tokyo, three homeless people’s lives are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve. As the New Year fast approaches, these three forgotten members of society band together to solve the mystery of the abandoned child and the fate of her parents. Along the way, encounters with seemingly unrelated events and people force them to confront their own haunted pasts, as they learn to face their future, together.

Co-written by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop) and featuring a whimsical score by Keiichi Suzuki, Tokyo Godfathers is a masterpiece by turns heartfelt, hilarious and highly original, a tale of hope and redemption in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]Get tickets for this special theatrical event 3/9 & 3/11:[/vc_column_text][us_btn link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgkidstickets.com%2Fus%2Ftokyogodfathers%2F%3Fcampaign%3Dboomstudios|||” style=”6″ label=”Get Tickets!”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_separator][us_image image=”28738″ align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ onclick=”custom_link” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgkidstickets.com%2Fus%2Ftokyogodfathers%2F%3Fcampaign%3Dboomstudios|title:Click%20for%20Preview!|target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator size=”large”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL_2E-HfIZY” video_title=”1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator][us_separator][us_separator][vc_column_text]

THE AVANT-GUARDS

[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]Welcome to the Georgia O’Keeffe College of Arts and Subtle Dramatics, an historically all-female school whose population is decidedly more drama geek than jock. Liv, aspiring actor and basketball enthusiast, doesn’t understand why she can’t be both, but she seems alone in that belief…until Charlie. Charlie is a recent transfer, a star basketball player, and the answer to all of Liv’s problems. She’ll stop at nothing to get Charlie to join the ragtag group of misfits that make up their fledgling basketball team.

Carly Usdin (Heavy Vinyl) and Noah Hayes (Goldie Vance) present a touching tale about finding what you’re looking for…on and off the court.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][us_separator][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_separator][vc_column_text]

GIANT DAYS

[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation,” influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get a little weird.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][us_separator][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_separator][vc_column_text]

MISFIT CITY

[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]

Nothing’s happened in Wilder’s hometown since they filmed that cult kids’ adventure movie there in the 80s…but that’s ancient history.

Until one day, she and her friends come upon a centuries-old pirate map drawn by someone named Black Mary, and find out there might be some REAL adventure in their tiny town after all!
