“CRAFT OF SPEED” MOONEYES DOCUMENTARY
For 30 years, Shige Suganuma and Chico Kodama, two Japanese/Japanese American hot rodders, helped save Moon Equipment Company, an iconic American speed parts company, rebrand it as MOONEYES, preserve legendary founder Dean Moon's legacy, and popularize hot rod culture in Asia. As Asian/Asian American pioneers in their industry, they battled against racism and xenophobia and ultimately created a global following. Now, Shige is attempting to grow hot rod culture despite declining interest in hot rods, and Chico is handcrafting a new race car to try to break a second land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats.

PROJECT STATUS
We’ve completed “Craft of Speed”! Now, we’re transitioning to distributing it. However, the costs to do so are very high, from submitting our documentary to film festivals and attending them to booking theaters and promoting screenings to creating DVDs, Blu-rays, and DCPs and having the film translated into different languages. We’re independent filmmakers, not supported by any studio or network. We need your help to share our film with the world. Please donate via our fiscal sponsor, the respected International Documentary Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Receive a tax deduction. Best of all, show your love for MOONEYES. Thank you for your support!
