Episode 4 - Shinya Tsukamoto with Tom Mes

The Third Window Films Podcast

On this episode Adam and Ben are joined by author, critic and film historian Tom Mes for a talk all about the work and career of cinematic legend Shinya Tsukamoto. Tom literally wrote the book on the man!

Tsukamoto is a Japanese filmmaker but not only is he a director but also producer, screenwriter, editor, cinematographer, art director, production designer and even an actor. We cover everything from his beginnings in amateur theatre, to his early short films, to his breakout smash hit Tetsuo: The Iron Man and beyond.

We also discuss Tom's relationship with Tsukamoto and Third Window, and how he prepares for his audio commentaries on each release, including Third Window's latest release of Hiruko the Goblin on January 24th.
