Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo movie

[szappan]

"

Working backwards through history, Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo explores the mystery of the development of Japan’s love affair with bugs. Using insects like an anthropologist’s toolkit, the film uncovers Japanese philosophies that will shift Westerners’ perspectives on nature, beauty, life, and even the seemingly mundane realities of their day—to—day routines."

I for one can't wait to see this... and being mainly a 'pede guy I'm extra happy that it's produced by "Myriapod Productions"

Hello All,
NIce!!! Nice!!!! Nice!!!!! Nice!!!!!

I hope many agents from USDA, and APHIS looks at this movie. Perhaps one day they will come to realize those beetles are just pets and not pest.

dang I'm jealous

Not coming to California afaik... and the price tag for a DVD is ~$300 if I recall correctly

 

[Toirtis]

Contacted them...trying to set up a screening here.

When I read the thread title, I thought I was about to see another hokey B-movie.

This looks like a very interesting show but I couldn't spend that kind of money on a DVD. Yeah, hopefully more USDAs will watch this. I want a few giant beetles..

 

[BiologicalJewels]

ZergFront, I'm trying to see if NHMLAC is willing to do a screening in their facilities, as soon as I have more info I'll let you know, we will need all the support in order for them to be able to make the little investment, one can pay $250 or 10% (maybe more) of the profits collected to "rent" the DVD in order to do a screening where the public gets charged an entrance fee.
