One year and 1.5 million views! Thank you to all who have watched HOSHINO! Eric and I appreciate the love/comments/questions regarding the film. We adore Star Wars so much and this was a blast to make - an even greater gift to have it find so many of you. Excited to share new projects very soon and to continue to expand as a storyteller. Thanks again!

@richNfit4life 4 жыл бұрын
Some fan films...are better than the “official” Star Wars movies. I cannot say that it is true for all of them. But many of them are better, if I must compare. The same for Star Trek. Why? Deeper character development; more relatable to the viewer/to me; attention to the small details, especially from the low budget, lone fan film creator... I just really appreciate the so-called “nobody” who has a passion to create these shorts where they write the story themselves and sometimes even write their own music themes and build sets, film it, edit it, add all the visual & sound special effects and then present it for the world to see and enjoy. That takes creativity and courage. These are people worth supporting and who inspire me to do the same in my artistic passions. Guess, sometimes, I need permission.

A great storyline, 100% aligned with Star Wars. A strong head apprentice, anxious about "making it", who makes a terrible mistake because of that anxiety, and uses it to learn and become the best version of herself. It could remind you of Luke on one side, or Anakin on the other (who sadly couldn't use his failure as a lesson). Wonderful work.

I would love to know how much time was spent on writing this, and how many edits and re-writes there were. Because so many fan films, especially Star Wars ones, fall down by focussing too much on visuals, spectacle or action choreography but this film is one of the best out there because the script is TIGHT. There are some truly excellent lines in this that felt 1000% in the Star Wars vein. "This is light, but it has weight" is GOLD such a perfect representation of a literally weightless lightsaber as a super OP and deadly weapon and the consequences of violence, impatience and recklessness. "In a real fight I'd be able to see" is also great foreshadowing and character-building whilst showcasing the philosophical importance of reliance on the Force vs your physical body. Other little bits I enjoy are the use of sticks before using real lightsabers. It reminded me of how in martial arts like Aikido the movements you make with your unarmed body in combat then translate directly into also utilising your boken. If you take the time and patience to master one element of the art, you then realise how important fundamental basics are in "levelling up" to the more "exciting" tools like swords or, well, lightsabers.

As someone who dove into Bushido as a way to cope with being paralyzed and no longer able to practice martial arts, I really appreciate the use of philosophy here. The unbalanced, headstrong apprentice, the calm, yet focused teacher. The humility of the whole film speaks volumes louder than the big screen ones. No big spectacle, no fancy effects, just two people, just words and some simple scenes. Great storytelling, clear character establishment, and growth. A bookending juxtaposition of reversed character roles, really well done.

Not only was this a brilliant film... but it was completely in keeping with the mythos of the Star Wars universe. It is amazing how you were able to infuse such characterization into something that was less than seven minutes long. If you had the time and the budget, I could see Hoshino's journey becoming something more akin to a feature length film. I would love to see how she went from loosing her sight to building her own lightsaber. Where is her master? Is this before the rebellion or after? Were those attackers the Knights of Ren? Or some secret guard of Palpatine's? So many questions that could be answered... but until then, I will just say that this was a wicked amazing video and you should be completely and utterly proud of what you have achieved.

I was really digging this too. Though the eager apprentice plotline is sort of a Star Wars cliche that tends to be used a lot in fan films, the writing here was solid and unique enough to really shine through. Excellent cinematography as well, and alongside some great performances this is one of the better fan films I've seen.
@tootsmagoot8373 7 жыл бұрын
Unique writing? You know there's been blind Jedi before and episode four Luke fights a remote with the blast shield down because the force provides a kind of sight, so the fact that she's meant to be blind is about as exciting as a fish with no legs.
@cpg-cubeprogaming1233 7 жыл бұрын
Toots Magoot I said "unique ENOUGH." Yeah it's got a lot of clichés, but you're seeing face value here. Welcome to Star Wars. What you are missing is that this is clearly less of a film about the usual Star Wars tropes and more about the theme of respecting the blade. While that may not blow you away, it's actually a topic that's kinda glossed over in other films where they go, "Yo this is a more civilized weapon OH LOOK a situation in which a lightsaber is convenient to whip out and swing around!" Also check out that irony. The main character believes that a lightsaber will "open her eyes" to being a Jedi, but in truth when she accidentally blinds herself she learns to see better than she ever could. I totally get it, it's not all new. But look a little deeper than the cliché moments and you'll find some substance.

Or was that project cancelled? Thanks again. This really rocked!!! Also, just for conversation, have you seen beatdownboogie 's MARIO WARFARE? It's a live fan film that was funded on kick starter. It's basically every Known francise's hero from the NES & SNES system. Their "Classic" characters (Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, etc). It's all of them versus Bowser and his armies! Everyone has martial arts, and everyone basically has gun fu! Kind of silly, but it was done so right with such a small cast, and most of their funding went straight to flags, costumes and the like. I think you'd enjoy it! ;)
