Shingo Ota’s latest film The Chimney Sweeper has won the Best Project Award in the Industry section of Cinema at Sea – Okinawa Pan-Pacific International Film Festival 2025, while production on Hydroblast is ongoing. This marks a second consecutive win following Numakage Public Pool at last year’s festival.
The meticulously crafted 3-minute trailer by Shingo Ota stood out, and the pitching presentation also demonstrated notable growth since the previous edition.
During the three-day stay, productive meetings with decision-makers provided valuable international insights not only for The Chimney Sweeper but also for the upcoming release of Numakage Public Pool.
As the team continues to navigate the international market, the importance of incorporating global perspectives into the filmmaking process becomes increasingly evident. Efforts will persist to bring The Chimney Sweeper to audiences worldwide.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who supported the project and to the festival for fostering such warm and meaningful connections year after year.
