Filmmaker Q&A · Special Event

Work in Progress: Yoppaman

October 20, 2024 – 08:30 PM

Special Agent Zack Fox will begin by welcoming AIF attendees as part of their first day of “agent trainee orientation” at an omnipotent shadowy mega corporation, introducing the world of YOPPAMAN – a society under siege by the forces of late-stage capitalism, unspeakable monsters, and growing unrest. The only chance for survival? Happy Grits – a training ground for elite super Sentai soldiers.

Next, the concept short will be shown in full, followed by a deep dive into YOPPAMAN as a true work in progress, revealing a more detailed origin story than previously shared publicly by co-creators Zack and Chibu. The presentation will then cover unorthodox marketing strategies, followed by an exploration of the show’s ethos and target audience, ending with a Q&A session.
