ba. Feel The Feeling

A short movie is as it is. It contains feelings, certainty, memories, experiences. For some, it may look like a simple video, for someone a movie, and for some it looks like a documentary. The short movie is meant to celebrate ba. 7th birthday. Completely honest, open and real, without any embellishment and perfectionism.

Godzilla 1985

Godzilla 1985

Originally released in Japan as "The Return of Godzilla" in 1984, this is the heavily re-edited, re-titled "Godzilla 1985". Adding in new footage of Raymond Burr, this 16th Godzilla film ignores all previous sequels and serves as a direct follow-up to the 1956 "Godzilla King of the Monsters", which also featured scenes with Burr edited into 1954's "Godzilla". This film restores the darker tone of the original, as we witness the nuclear destruction of giant lizard terrorizing Japan.
