We at cogitoworks are incredibly proud to finally announce the launch of 3 Dragons Ltd.,
a joint venture with our partners at Yanasa Creative Group.
Marking Director Gakuryu Ishii’s 50th career anniversary, this project is our commitment to ensuring his unparalleled cinematic vision—from raw punk energy to high-voltage cyberpunk—reaches audiences worldwide. We are moving beyond simple preservation; we are building a permanent global platform for his work.
Starting now, we begin a multi-year journey of 4K restorations, international retrospectives, and new creative collaborations. This isn’t just about the past—it’s about the future of Japanese independent cinema on the global stage. #gakuryuishii #sogoishii #yanasacreativegroup #cogitoworks #3dragons
We had the stage greeting event for
The Box Man.
@ishii.gakuryu and actors were filled with deep emotions because had a total of 27 years timeline from script to screen. Crazy timeline isn't it?
With 27 years of passion poured into this project, we, the director, cast, and production crew, distribution team, promotion team, have come together as one to bring it to life. We hope that "The Box Man" can travel from Japan to the world, and we look forward to your support.
