Background and Overview of the "POPCORN Production Committee" Launch
Shintaro Asanuma is a scriptwriter, director, actor, and voice actor. He has engaged in various activities, with 20 years in voice acting and nearly 30 years in scriptwriting and directing. In 2026, he turned 50. One of his past activities, the photo book "POPCORN," was created with the concept of "What if that film director photographed Shintaro Asanuma?" The 1st "POPCORN" and 2nd "POPCORN'n POP" were produced, and a 3rd volume was planned, but production progress was stalled due to location and budget issues, as well as the impact of COVID-19.
This year, as he celebrates his 50th birthday and reaches milestones in his voice acting, scriptwriting, and directing careers, the committee was launched to produce the long-stalled final volume of the POPCORN series, seeking everyone's support.
We primarily ask individual supporters to purchase the "POPCORN" photo book, and companies to provide funding for product production or support through development and production work. We plan to develop various products in collaboration with companies that have endorsed this initiative.
