The Seamless Art

As All That Remains will contain lots of archive material spanning from Pre-World War Two Japan to Post atomic bombing of Nagasaki, a lot of effort is going in to cleaning up and restoring these archive shots, and this work has had an impact on the intended visual style of the movie. Directors Ian and [...]

The support keeps coming!

Although our official campaign on Indiegogo finished a few weeks back, we are still receiving donations from individuals via our donate button here on this blog, in fact, we’ve just had an incredibly generous donation of $1000 from a contributor in Japan! Every single person who makes a donation, no matter how small will see [...]

Digital Make Over

As we mentioned in our previous blog, we’re now working out how to best maximise the budget and resources  that we have, in order to be able to convey the original vision of the movie without sacrificing on quality. An example of one area where we’ve had to think outside the box is the special [...]

Now the Indiegogo campaign is over, the next stage of production begins…

As the dust settles on our latest fund raising campaign,  the next major step of the production process gets underway – namely the translation of all the Japanese interviews and research material, and within the next few days, the (potentially lengthy) casting process of finding our key actors will begin. As always, script re-writes and [...]

Because words are all we have, right now…

Yesterday an extremely generous person donated $2,000 to our campaign on Indiegogo! We’ve said it before, but as it’s true, we’ll say it again, every dollar/pound we receive goes a very long way, so a donation like this is a huge leap forward for us. And so, we thought now would be a good time [...]

The grand design of All That Remains

As we work hard on raising the much needed budget for the drama sequences, there’s an awful lot of other work to be done. The main focus right now is on the script, which is currently being re-worked. As anticipated before our trip to Japan, the interviews and personal experiences we encountered has greatly influenced [...]

A message from the heart and the Maria Hibakusha

From day one, we intended this film to be shaped by the people that we would interview, that it would be, as much as possible, Nagasaki itself telling us the story of its heritage and the life story of surely its greatest adopted son. We wanted it to be as personal and real as we [...]

The Japan experience – Part 2

The day after returning to Nagasaki from our trip to Nara, we had an interview arranged with Fr. Renzo, who runs a beautifully designed museum dedicated to the 26 Martyrs of Japan. After a brief but informative tour of the museum, it was on to the interview. Again, we were working to a very tight [...]

The Japan experience – Part 1

After an epic 22 hour journey from England to Japan, we took a brief walk around Nagasaki to get a feel for the place, and then had an early night, ready for the busy schedule that awaited us over the next 10 days. Our first interviews were with Tokusaburo Nagai, the grandson of Dr. Nagai [...]
