the director of this short film, roel, is a very nice gentleman who happens to be a member of the usagi yojimbo dojo (the official website).because of his posts and q and as there I know about this project and can share some of that information with you compadres...
so, this film is a personal project of him.he made this as his team has gotten the rights to do an usagi yojimbo FEATURE FILM.
these days roel is meeting with various possible investors and 'the last request' is shown to them to get them on board.
this 7 minute short film that you can watch on youtube is the result of a group of passionate people working with NO budget at all!so imagine what this feature film will look like possibly when they got financial backing!
I suggest to all who would wish to watch something like this come to fruition to go on youtube and share the link on social networks so we get more people to watch this and become aware of it!
leave comments if you will.thats always good for investors to see there are many people around the globe caring for this franchise.( in other words:realizing there is a market for this...)

um, the dvd of this short film is also going to be released.special features(making offs I think) will also be included on this of course.I don't think there is yet a fix release date but Ill share as soon as I learn about it.

Wow! Thats awesome! Thank you for sharing!
