Master artisan Keizo Murase, known for his suit designs and sculptures, has crafted memorable monster costumes for many titles in the GODZILLA, GAMERA, DAIMAJIN, KAMEN RIDER and ULTRAMAN franchises. At the age of 88, Murase completed his first feature film as a director, BRUSH OF THE GOD, and “it’s truly something special. The kaiju scenes are of course a joy, done in the classic style that Murase himself was vital in defining. More than that, however, BRUSH OF THE GOD is generously self-referential, a venerable master’s reflection on his extensive legacy, and his expression of hope that the magic of kaiju eiga will live on, today and in the years to come.” – Rupert Bottenberg, Fantasia Film Festival
