      Credits:
      A film by Devin Leisher, Erik Motta and Mehdi Ahmadi
      Executive Producers: Scott Rodgers, Scott fletcher, & Kiya Babzani

      Cast
      Mikiharu Tsujita (Fullcount)
      Hisao Manabe (Japan Blue)
      Atsusuke tagaya (Stevenson Overall Co.)
      Atsushi Matsushima (Clutch & Lightning Magazines)

      Weaving Shibusa is the story of Japanese craftsmanship and dedication, shown through their love and fascination of denim. The film gives unprecedented access to the mysterious and storied industry of Japanese denim, told by the only people who can; world-renowned vintage denim experts, the highly regarded "Osaka 5", responsible for Japan's denim revival, as well as passionate innovators who's unparalleled work has made "Japanese Denim" synonymous with the highest quality possible.

      What makes Japanese denim special is not only the materials, machinery, and techniques, but also the people and ideas behind the process. This film reveals the intense passion and insight behind Japanese denim, but also poses the question; what is the future of these garments that are so deeply rooted in the past?

      Original Soundtrack by Young Lee.
      Each song for the score was written specifically for each scene as the film was being edited. The instrumentation was kept simple yet a lot of reverb and delays were implemented to get an exaggerated spacey sound as well a lot of manipulation with reverse delay, looping, and octaves to get an orchestral synth sound without actually using any synths. In keeping with the same ideas expressed in the film, a lot of planning went into writing and exploring sounds.

      Weaving Shibusa - Trailer #1

      Saturday, August 6th.

              @Clint_D:

              @kiya Are there any further plans to release "Weaving Shibusa" to other markets?  I'd really love to see this film and my wife has even shown interest!  Any information you could share would be great!

              @dylantbmayes:

              Can't imagine it will release on DVD, Blu-Ray or digital download till after the cinema screenings.

              For those in the UK, 'Weaving Shibusa' is showing in Soho on October 5.

              @BloodnThunder:

              I was down in San Francisco a few weeks ago, the day before the premiere, and was able to talk to Young at SE.  He said they are hoping to make it available through a few different avenues after the director has taken the film to a number of festivals.  So could be a bit before most are able to see it, but the good news it is coming eventually.

              @kiya:

              As Dylan said above there is a London premiere Oct 5th, we're doing a Manila premiere on Oct 1st, a New York premiere (during Inspiration weekend) on October 14th, a Portland premiere in mid-November, and a Mexico premiere on December 14th.
              Once all of those are over we'll be looking into digital distribution.

                    curiously asking, is there no way else to see this if you're not based in SF?

                    edit: oh right.. it's been asked..

                                        Cannot wait for this to be on Vimeo as it seems theres almost no chance of the film coming to Seattle.
