Summer Camp was LIT ⛺️🔥

What an exciting adventure it was for Bad Taste Video to embark on its very first international co-production. The latest feature from was shot over ten days right here in NYC. While half our crew spoke English and the other Japanese, we were all fluent in the language of CINEMA! 🎞️🎥

This production was truly fueled by our collective love of making art, and while it did not come without its challanges, we wrapped this beautiful little film undoubtedly triumphant!

A HUGE shout-out to the incredible band of misfits that made-up this iteration of the Bad Taste Video Team; here's to many more films in Bad Taste and good times to come. 💕🏆🎬

Kenichi Ugana's deadpan, horror-themed comedy 'The Gesuidouz' is hyper-specific in its approach to universal ennui.
