Tpop to fans: You oughta be in pictures

Tokyopop started small, with quick flicks on MySpace, but now they’re making a feature-length mock-umentary at NYAF, and everyone is invited to join in. Here’s the scoop, straight from Marketing Director Marco Pavia:

TOKYOPOP is making movies at New York Anime Fest—on Saturday, December 8, at 10:30 a.m. in Manga Panel Room 1A24, TOKYOPOP will be filming “Van Von Hunter in Maiden Quest,” a hilarious mock-umentary based on the three-volume manga series “Van Von Hunter.”

– All we ask is that fans arrive at Manga Panel Room 1A24 on Saturday morning – just come to the film shoot and you will be in the movie!

– Also, dress up as Van Von Hunter and you will receive great prizes. Here’s a free link to Van Von Hunter’s first chapter: http://www.tokyopop.com/Van_Von_Hunter/tp_manga/287012.html

Tokyopop will also be offering a sneak preview of their Japan/U.S. co-production, an anime/CG/live-action combo starring none other than Princess Ai herself.
