Visionary

Unmatched Authenticity

Asia's first Director Designer SØHØ whose debut film "Destiny: A Star is Reborn" is the first global Kpop and couture film (firstkpopfilm.com) in which a former idol turns to the mythos of Bodhidharma, Sejong and Hokusai to make a stunning comeback is at the helm of Bodhidharma. His research is so detailed that he was invited to lecture with the Head of the Shaolin Temple and he trained with proteges of John Woo (Mission Impossible, Face Off, The Killer, Hard-boiled, A Better Tomorrow) as well as mastered Sanskrit — the only actor director ever to do so. SØHØ has also been mentored by the acclaimed lineage of one of history's greatest filmmakers praised by Scorsese and Nolan Satyajit Ray (including French Legion winner Soumitra Chatterjee, 5 Time Grammy Winner Ravi Shankar and Master of Composition Nemai Ghosh) and is building the SØHØ Museum near the final resting place of Spielberg's favorite filmmaker Kuroswawa - who famously used paintings to make Ran the greatest visual masterpiece of all time. Similarly, the SOHO Museum houses the largest collection of Bodhidharma treasures in the world. Many of these masterworks tell the story and convey the spirit of Bodhidharma that is infused in the script. SØHØ Has also launched 6 PAC or 6 Pan-Asian Cinema as the only film company to link Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, India and Canada through authentic Asian themes, heritage and cultural promotion via cinema, art, couture and creative platforms. Please visit 6PAC.jp and SØHØ.jp as well as SoHoMuseum.jp for more information.

Director's Note

Bodhidharma is the most influential Asian in history second only to the historic Buddha and his picture can be seen throughout Japan, Korea and China -- including in martial arts dojos worldwide. Telling his story is a great responsibility both to our Asian ancestors but also to future generations.
