A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE
Earlier this month, in honor of Godzilla FX director Teruyoshi Nakano's 77th birthday, a special two-day event including a film screening of GHIDORAH, THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER was held in a small theater in Kanagawa Prefecture, with Mr. Nakano himself in attendance.
During the event, SciFi JAPAN TV was given the great privilege to sit down with the director to discuss his life and career before the audience.
Mr. Nakano, who is perhaps best remembered for helming the FX on the Godzilla series through the turmoil years of the 1970s, first served as an assistant director at Toho under Eiji Tsuburaya.
This is the first of a two-part episode with Mr. Nakano, so be sure to check back for the rest soon!

About Gaijin Channel
Filmmaker JR Lipartito and SciFi Japan writer Jim M. Ballard make up creative duo behind Gajin Channel. Both have worked on television and corporate/client works but found that to be quite uninspiring nor even much challenge. So they left that world and joined a young multimedia company called ACTV, with high hopes of making a living doing nothing but creating cool web videos and mobile apps!
