Winners of the Tidepoint/ Bone House Asia "Long Dream" DVD Giveaway

Well, all the entries came in and everyone had their specific Japanese cinema related dreams, but in the end there could be only four... and here they are! The winners of a "Long Dream" DVD care of Bone House Asia, the new genre wing of Tidepoint Pictures:

Ben Dower of Toronto: "My biggest Japanese film related dream would have to getting to have a good long chat with Sion Sono about all his filmmaking techniques: where his ideas come from, where he gets his funding, what equipment he uses, how he built his career...I want to know everything and anything I can learn from him about filmmaking because he's my favourite director and I want to be able to make my own films with the same freedom he has."

Dan Gosse of Toronto: "The DVD release of "To The End of the Silver Mountains (aka: Ginrei no hate; aka: Snow Trail; aka: Three Villains of the Mountain Hut; aka: To the End of the Snow-Capped Mountains) directed by Senkichi Taniguchi. Released 1947. Written by Akira Kurosawa and starring Toshirô Mifune and Takashi Shimura."

Christopher Brown of Toronto: "My Japanese movie dream would be that they start pumping out the Godzilla movies again and show Clovefield a thing or two (though I loved Cloverfield as well). That and Survive Style +5 getting a special edition North American release."

Dave Constable of Toronto: "My dream would be to spend a few weeks on set with Takeshi Miike as he directs a film (he is my favourite Japanese director, and I was lucky enough to have dinner with him once at TIFF)."

Congrats Guys! And thank you to everyone who entered!
