July 2020 - Our good friend and documentary subject Greg Oberst is creating a 3-part podcast entitled Surrendering the Sword, which tells the story of the WWII attack on southern Oregon and the subsequent peaceful return of pilot Nobuo Fujita. It’s a great way to learn more about this story. Check out Part 1 now!
A big thank you to everyone who came out to our two premiere screenings of Samurai in the Oregon Sky! The film debuted at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, where almost 300 people packed the theatre and gave us great feedback. Next we screened at the Chetco Library in Brookings, where we were thrilled to share the film with many of the folks who remember this story and who contributed to the film.
And now, the film has begun its festival run! For more news on upcoming screenings, please visit our Screenings Page.
