Marketing Madness
If your Japanese is a little rusty (like mine) here are rough translations of the SAKI DVD cover tag lines:
主演:国分佐智子
Starring: Kokubu Sachiko
その女、復讐の天使 そして狂気の女神
That woman, the Angel of Revenge and the Goddess of Madness.
SAKI, 鮮血のアーティスト
SAKI, the fresh blood artist.
Gotta love those crazy marketing guys for taking the film to the next level.

SAKI ZERO!
It occurred to me that the original concept of Saki being a Japanese exchange student by day and an avenging angel by night could be a great premise for a prequel - SAKI ZERO! I've already written a whole page of notes.

Haunting Inspiration
When my friend Sean Lavin told me about this painting he saw at a local art exhibit, a painting of a child killer made from little hand prints of children, I immediately knew how I wanted to end my script SAKI.
SAKI origins
DP/WRITER: Interesting to go back on my old script notes. My original pitch for SAKI was a Japanese exchange student that was running away from her Yakuza family past. But when her host family's son is murdered by the Mafia, she takes it upon herself to plan an elaborate revenge.

Deep in Blue
Don't ask me why but I felt compelled to watch DEEP BLUE SEA again on Netflix (and I rarely watch a movie more than once). It gets pretty ridiculous but I must admit it's a slick movie that entertains.

A SAKI October
Can feel the love that comes with October? SAKI star Sachiko Kokubu's wedding date is fast approaching - another congratulations is in order!
SAKI: A feature film of a Japanese woman exiled to America, finding herself teaching art to a unique group of students. But when her grandfather visits from Japan, hell comes with him and Saki finds strength in the demons of her artistic expression.
