It's final.  The Japanese Documentary "Same Old Story" has won Best International Music Documentary at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival September 2008.

This was a very unexpected surprise as this was a first time film and of course independently produced and directed.  Since the news of our film winning an award from such a large film festival, it has opened the doors to future festivals.  2009 is going to be a very big year for our movie as it is going to be shown at 6 more festivals throughout the world. 
I really hope this film will touch peoples hearts and give them insight on their own life and history.
I know this poster is in Japanese and I am working the English translation hoping to get it online by the end of the week.  I just couldn't wait to share it will all of my readers.

 If you are in the area and have a chance to see the film please do.  You can check our movie page here for festival updates.
