Tokyo Market Partners With Frontieres, Adding Genre Slate to Gap-Financing Lineup

Comments

1. Velvet Nova: Not sure why they're pairing up now and not sooner - Frontières has been around for years. Does this really shake up the Tokyo market or is it just a gesture?
2. Iron Raven: parkour on a pole is exactly what I was expecting from a market supposedly focused on co-productions
3. Hex Raven: you're basically putting the Tokyo market's usual safety-first films right alongside these edgy genre titles
4. Cobalt Echo: still trying to understand what this means for the actual filmmaking process in Tokyo. Frontières has some great projects, but how's this partnership going to impact the production quality and budget
5. Liamnilsson: Tiffcom's already got some wild stuff - they're just adding more ways to chase the same dollars
6. Falkmilan: nice pairing but what will this mean for the smaller indie projects looking for funding?
7. Sana: seriously what's the target audience for this kind of market? is it really filling a gap in asia?
8. Ashen Sable: Not exactly the kind of synergy I was hoping for with Tokyo's talent pool. Still, good to see Frontieres getting in on the action, maybe it'll bring some genuine genre
9. Novasato: this means we'll finally get some actually scary movies instead of just Japanese rom-coms
10. Sana: seriously expecting some cutting-edge action choreos from these Frontières people now?
11. Milar: i'm surprised they didn't mention the state of the Japanese horror genre in their press release - feels like it's been getting more stagnant lately
12. Fathom Echo: frontières has always been on the vanguard of co-production - glad to see tiffcom is taking steps to bring in some real genre expertise
13. Arlo: nice for TIFFCOM, but what's the format here gonna be like? Is it just a tacked-on genre fest or can they work some cohesion into the program?
