‘Plan 75’ Producer Launches Kinofaction To Focus On Minority Japanese Co-Productions
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Loaded Films founder Eiko Mizuno-Gray and Kinoshita-Kansei Group CEO Masahide Kinoshita have teamed up to launch Tokyo-based production company, Kinofaction, which aims to focus on minority Japanese co-productions.
The new outfit will take a minority stake in feature film projects that have significant Japanese elements and/or talent involved.
It is actively seeking projects initiated outside of Japan with strong festival and commercial potential. Loaded Films, the production company founded by Mizuno-Gray and Jason Gray, will continue to separately produce a slate of projects developed in-house, including Renoir, the next project from Plan 75 director Chie Hayakawa, which Goodfellas has boarded for sales.
Kinofaction already has several projects on its slate, including Poland-set The Excursion, from writer-director Kei Ishikawa, whose credits include Venice titles Traces Of Sin (2016) and A Man (2020).
