Ariztical Entertainment
has captured the domestic distribution rights to director Satoshi Kaneda’s film
adaptation of Kô Akizuki’s popular Yaoi manga and anime series, Fujimi
Orchestra: Cold Front Conductor.
Feb. 25 has been selected as the DVD debut date — in Japanese with
English subtitles.
Yuki Morimura and Kei
Tonoin draw the live-action leads respectively as Shôta, the current leader of
a less-than-successful symphony orchestra, and Yûsuke, the hot-shot conductor
who has been recruited to take the group to the next level.
As tensions build — both
in a professional sense and of a sexual nature — Shôta and the domineering
Yûsuke find themselves coming into greater and greater conflict. While Shôta is pushed to the breaking point
and abandons his friends, it doesn’t mean that Yûsuke has accomplished his goal
of driving him from the group … he has a sexual agenda that is only acted upon
in the film’s dramatic conclusion.
Bonus features for the
DVD release of Fujimi Orchestra: Cold Front Conductor includes a making-of
featurette.
Also streeting on Feb. 25
is the third installment of Ariztical Entertainment’s popular short film
series, Straight Men and the Men Who Love Them #3.
Leading the parade of
five short films is writer/director George Ameer’s latest work, Quarters
(filmed between last year’s feature-length D'Agostino and the much anticipated
2014 launch of Medusa).
Paul (Tom Drexel) and
Jeremy (Robert Brinkley) are childhood friends who celebrate Paul’s forthcoming
wedding with a final night of drinks and a “friendly” game of quarters, which
takes the two into unexpected territory.
Rounding out the
collection are Rubber Duckie (director Henry Alberto), Boy Game (directed by
Anna Österlund Nolskog), Early One Summer (director Gary
Thomas) and from Hong Kong, From Here to There (Yee Lam Wong is
the filmmaker).
