GENSAN PUNCH
From award-winning Cannes / Venice / Toronto selected director Brillante Mendoza, GENSAN PUNCH is based on a true story and follows Nao Tsuyama, a disabled athlete who refuses to let his articifical leg hinder his dream to become a professional boxer.
His remarkable journey takes him from Japan to the Philippines, and specifically the celebrated ‘Gensan’ quarter which has spawned worldwide stars such as the legendary Manny Pacquiao.
Brillante Mendoza comments: “Working with the whole team – from the Philippines to Okinawa and Fukuoka, Japan was an enjoyable experience. While we are used to creating different films this particular genre is quite new to me, something exciting. This film is a tribute to boxers, those who fight in and out of the ring, and persevere in spite of the limitations set before them.”
The cast is led by Shogen (Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, Death Note, Stay) with Ronnie Lazaro, Beauty Gonzales and Kaho Minami taking supporting roles. Honee Alipio provides the screenplay.
GENSAN PUNCH is an English-language Japanese / Filipino co-production. Produced by Center Stage Productions (the Philippines) and Gentle Underground Monkeys (Japan).
Gentle Underground Monkeys states: “We are honoured to make a film with the great director, Brillante Mendoza, and his team. Luckily the shooting went well, just before the COVID 19 hit us. We hope this film will remind people to never give up, and that we should learn to forgive others – that life goes on.”

Everyone around the world knows the story of Noah’s Ark, but you’ve never heard it told like this – 3 penguins, one boat, total chaos!
Action adventure family animation from the creative talent of Cory Edwards (HOODWINKED!). The script is based on the award winning German book MEET AT THE ARK AT EIGHT written by Ulrich Hub.
In a corner of Antarctica, three simple penguins have their blissful lives uprooted by the arrival of a dove with an invitation – an invitation to take a ‘cruise to a new world!’
Our bumbling heroes must be at the ark at 8, but the invitation has one strict rule, only two of every kind will be admitted. What chance do three penguins have? After setting sail on a polar bear pow-ered ice float and stowing away on this historic voyage, the plight of Pen, Goo & Wyn becomes a funny fable seen through the eyes of the animal passengers. The dove, on the word of Noah, is in charge of running the ark, every species has a role to play, from the king of the jungle to the gorilla guards. After clumsily trying to hide their existence the penguins are soon found out and the dove decrees that one of them must walk the plank! The chaos that ensues puts the whole ark in jeopardy, and it is soon left to the penguins to save the boat from sinking. Proving that in this case, maybe 3 penguins are better than 2.
With the tone of MADAGASCAR, ICE AGE and a bit of THE MARX BROTHERS, this new twist on an old tale takes a humorous look at conformity, classism and the gentle power of forgiveness. This is a must see film for all the family!

CANDY BOMBER (1O X 60 MINS)
TELEVISION: CANDY BOMBER
1948 Post-War. Germany defeated and Russia no longer allies. The West is faced with the threat of a nuclear war with Russia. Pilots from around the world race to join the effort by Britain and the United States to save Berlin from starvation during the Russian blockade.
When one of the pilots begins dropping his candy ration to hungry German kids on tiny para-chutes, he and his fellow fliers change the course of history.
Candy Bomber will interweave the bare-knuckle super-power politics with stories of the airlift pi-lots from all over the world who made the Airlift possible (whether they lost their lives or became heroes) and the stories of individual Berliners, men and women who either held out or succumbed to despair - and the children on whom, ultimately, it all turned.
Candy Bomber is a story of the combination of high adventure, superpower politics – and the ability of individual kindness to change the course of history.
Producer – Genesius Pictures – UK Television and film production company headed by award-winning producer Debbie Gray (Film – NORTHERN SOUL, MRS LOWRY & SON, TV – ITV, BBC & CH4).
