The “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary will continue its film tour with a special screening in Nevada, presented by MOONEYES and Humanist Films. A live screening will take place at the incredible National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada on Saturday, 9/28/2024. And then an online screening for the U.S. will be held from Sunday, 9/29/2024 to Sunday, 10/6/2024.
Four years in the making, our 2-hour feature documentary covers the entire history of MOONEYES. Here’s the logline: 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.
With this special screening at the National Automobile Museum, we’re creating a unique “cinema event” for our attendees—not just a moving film screening and conversation but also an awe-inspiring day at the museum. Honored by Road & Track’s “12 of the Best Auto Museums in the U.S.,” the National Automobile Museum houses the extensive automobile collection of Bill Harrah, the founder of Harrah’s Hotels and Casinos.
Currently on display are a Speed Exhibit, Thomas Flyer Exhibit, Paul Newman Exhibit, Cars of the Stars Exhibit, and Mach 5 Speed Racer Exhibit. As kids growing up watching Speed Racer and later as film buffs/car enthusiasts following Paul Newman’s films and racing, we couldn’t be more excited to experience these exhibits.
Thank you to the Phil MacDougall, Emily Taft, and the National Automobile Museum for their warm hospitality.
