Pottstown, PA. (Top40 Charts/ MVD Entertainment Group) Tidepoint Pictures LLC, a company that formed in 1996 to concentrate on bringing contemporary and cutting-edge Asian films to North American audiences, will use MVD Entertainment Group for their exclusive title distribution. The company's exceptional growth has been due to selective film production and acquisition, individualized marketing strategies and strong salesmanship.
"We are very excited to represent Tidepoint Pictures" said Ed Seaman, COO of MVD Entertainment Group. "They have a fascinating product line which has worldwide, mass-appeal."
The first films to be released in the partnership is the Japanese erotic comedy ELECTRIC BUTTON by Yuki Tanada, the experimental vampire horror SANGUIVOROUS 吸血 by Naoki Yoshimoto, and the Chinese/Japanese comedy drama NEW WORLD by Lim Kah-Wai.
Says Tetsuki Ijichi, President of Tidepoint Pictures, "There is a much broader range of contemporary Asian cinema than what typically gets shown in the U.S. We're excited to present these fresh voices of talented Asian directors to American audiences."
ABOUT ELECTRIC BUTTON
Electric Button (Moon & Cherry) launched writer/director Yuki Tanada's reputation both in Japan and internationally. Recalling traditional "Pinku Eiga" (porn for refined sensibilities) in form--but radically different in detail, the film is both sweet and dryly unsentimental while effortlessly dancing across the lines of comedy, drama, romance and eroticism. Yuki Tanada rethinks the erotic film from a decidedly "woman on top" perspective. Naive boy Tadokoro (Tasuku Nagaoka), a virginal university student and new member of an erotic creative writing club, meets too-smart-for-her-own-good pretty girl Mayama (Noriko Eguchi) who uses their liaison as fodder for her fiction.
