Costumes, Conventions, and Creativity
Convene in Cosplayer Nation
New England, USA—Filmmakers Joshua Adams and U.K. Li have announced the completion of their Indie film, Cosplayer Nation, and are on the lookout for new screening venues. The documentary presents an in-depth look at “cosplay,” the act of creating and/or wearing a costume of your favorite character, and pretending to be that character while in costume, mainly during fan conventions and similar events.
“We see in the film that cosplay is growing, businesses and marketers are realising the potential cosplay has as San Diego Comic Con becomes more corporate, inviting big movie stars and actors.”—Bryan, from Geek Ireland.
"It achieves an unbiased, and mostly positive, tone aimed at debunking stereotypes and uncovering the sometimes mundane, often intriguing truths about the people and their culture (and the hard truths sometimes, too). The film, from a cosplayer’s perspective, comes across as benevolent." —Thalia, from SUVUDU/Random House Inc.
Cosplayer
Nation is an in-depth
look at the world of cosplaying through the joys and struggles of the
cosplayers themselves. To create this film, Josh and U.K. embarked on a three
year tour of anime/pop-culture/comic conventions around the United States and
its territories, collecting a full spectrum of opinions from fans, judges,
actors, reality stars, writers, and more.
The film features interviews with such stars as Vic Mignona, Yaya Han, Dee
Bradley Baker, and the magazine editor who coined the word “cosplay” Nobuyuki
Takahashi. More can be read on Cosplayer Nation's IMDB.
The filmmaker duo are determined to film
a sequel to Cosplayer Nation, one
that will explore topics such as “Cosplay is not Consent,” racism in cosplay,
and guns in cosplay. Financial support
for future projects is a must, and your screening could help make that dream a
reality.
Cosplayer
Nation is available for
screenings at events large and small.
The film has already won several awards and commendations at film
festivals around the country—watch it at your theater and find out why!
