The very special love and respect and honor I have for this jewel of a film cannot be fully expressed…the efforts in making this film were truly monumental, and stories that lie in my heart love forever… I so wish I could be there at today’s anniversary screening, however, the wonderful producer of “Picture Bride”, Lisa Onodera and the stupendous cinematographer, Claudio Rocha, who were instrumental in bringing this story around alongside Kayo Hatta and Diane Mei Lin Mark, will be there to speak of the magic of this film! And with great tribute to the stupendous Youki Kudoh, the warmth of Akira Takayama, and the magnetism of Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, I give my utmost thanks to every single one of these artists for their hearts in making this treasure of a film. AND to every single person who contributed their love, time, money, and energy to make this film – you are not unseen – Kayo Hatta made sure to thank every single contributor and made one of the longest ever end credit rolls in cinematic history. Because she wanted to thank each and every one of you. And we thank you here and now and forever….. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 @onoderalisa @youkikudoh @caryhiroyukitagawaofficial @jacl_greaterla
NEW EPISODE ALERT!! It’s that time of year again when May, Kelly and Tamlyn share their “Favorite Things” for the holidays, BUT this year they took a bit of a turn given how challenging 2025 has been. Instead of focusing on things, they’re sharing how experiences like travel, new puppies and our mothers, which have brought us both incredible joy and profound heartbreak. MKT also have a rather salty conversation about a certain kind of dog treat and what it’s potentially made of. To say the chat goes off the rails would be an understatement. Enjoy this final episode of 2025 as we all say farewell to one hell of a year! #holidays #favoritethings #gifts @kellyhu @thetamlyntomita @meta @google
Another clip from the final episode of @shoesoffinsidemkt of 2025 and this one requires an apologetic prologue. Watch and you’ll understand, but be prepared…MKT go off the rails! #holidayseason #favoritethings #bullysticks @kellyhu @thetamlyntomita
