In today’s episode we speak with Brian Tang, the creator and director of the director of the 2023 SXSW short film “Kodama.” Kodama puts a modern twist on traditional Japanese folklore by following a team of SWAT samurai attempting to recover the team leader’s father from an evil spirit. Through the help of Kickstarter, the project was fully funded and produced, eventually being picked up by the Russo Brother to be developed into a full length feature film. Learn how Brian created this amazing universe using a combination of intense stunt choreography, breath taking cinematography skills, and self-taught VFX done in Blender.
