We just wanted to say a massive big thank you for all the interest and invitations. A Shunsuke Okubo film 20 Seconds of Courage has been selected as an official exhibit at some film festivals! We won't accept any offers and submit 20SOC to any film-festivals. But we're very honoured to have been chosen to take part in these exciting awards!

Here's a statement from director Shunsuke Okubo

Hello boys and girls,

I just wanted to say a massive big thank you for all the interest and invitations.

My latest film 20 SECONDS OF COURAGE has been selected as an official exhibit at some film festivals and also I received numerous invitations to submit the film to them. But I turned down every proposal. I’m sorry. This is my basic policy for my all past works and this policy will probably not change even from now on. But I’m very honoured to have been chosen to take part in these exciting awards!

My choices have never been driven by material things, although I’m grateful for all the opportunities and my success. I know I am blessed to be able to have a chance to be a part of these amazing film-festivals, but you know, I’m 22 years young. This is just the start for me. I’m looking further ahead for my future. Believe me. I will show you more magic.

Dont grow up,
Xos.
