Big news! We’re finally making another film! It’s a short titled Gacha Gacha. It’s our first narrative film that will be made in Japan, with a Japanese cast and a (mostly) Japanese crew. It’s pretty exciting… and also utterly terrifying.
Here’s what it’s about…
Gacha Gacha is about the nightmare of obsession and the short-lived highs of being a collector. That nagging desperation to possess rare things, and how quickly that desperation fades.
We follow a woman, living alone in a tiny apartment surrounded by an enormous collection of Gacha capsule toys. She gets news of an upcoming Gacha of incredible scarcity. She rushes to her local Gacha shop, and, impossibly enough, that ultra-rare Gacha ends up tumbling out of the machine.
Inside the Gacha ball is something truly odd though. A slimy, potentially living (but just barely) thing slides out. A disgusting, goo-smeared tanuki enters her life.
Gacha Gacha is not quite a horror film, but it does feature a lot of horrific elements. There’s slime. A gross puppet. A sense of dread running throughout. If you dug Cat Sick Blues, I get the feeling you’d enjoy this too.
We would love it if you could make a pledge, but we also totally understand if you’re not able to. There is, however, a way you can help us without making a financial commitment. We really to get the word out about this one so we can reach our target. Please share this link like crazy—on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all your networks!
