Hi everybody,

I don't know if anyone remembers me. I was a member for the boards back in the day under the name Rising Tiger (or something like that). I wrote some of the fan-fiction that's actually on the Shenmue Dojo main site too.

Anyways, I thought I'd post the teaser trailer to a little project that I'm looking to wrap up soon. It's a fan-film based on Shenmue called 'Suka High.

I'm looking at one more shooting session tomorrow afternoon/evening. Hopefully, I'll have it finished before the end of May.

Shenmue was and still is my favorite game of all time. I've been wanting to do a project like this for the longest time now, and I'm so happy that I've finally gotten the people and the time to actually do it with. Once the short film is finished, I'll be sure to post it on here. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

*Also, if this is in the wrong forum, then I'm sorry. Please move it to the most appropriate forum.

Thanks for the support guys!

With the recent surge in fan-films coming up online and stuff, I was surprised to see that there weren't or hardly any for Shenmue. The last and only one I remember was Shenmue: The Gang Edition.

Just watched it.
This was fantastic.

The fighting was just pure amazing and that elbow assualt part was pretty good. The character that plays Ryo is pretty much the closest person to be like him.

Thanks for watching everyone! I’ve been wanting to do a short-film based on Shenmue for a long time now. I first had the idea to do something like this back in 2011. I was originally planning on playing the role of Ryo Hazuki myself (I was a little leaner back then). Luckily, I met Dan at work and I KNEW that this was the guy to play Ryo.

The short was originally supposed to feature Ryo facing off against both Goro and Enoki, but unfortunately the guy who was supposed to play Enoki got caught up in some personal stuff and wasn’t able to make it this time. However, I am looking on doing a follow-up to this and hopefully I’d be able to introduce Enoki, Tom, and hopefully Nozomi as well.

Again, thank you ALL for checking this out! If the Shenmue fan base weren’t as devoted as it is, I don’t know if I would’ve really wanted to make a short film to begin with. This film is for all of us :D
