Thanks Peter! I've actually been lurking on and off since 2005, it brings back so many memories!

One thing I forgot to mention before:

Does anyone remember that story of the TSA agent who recognized Peter Moore as the guy who basically ruined Shenmue? Im not sure if that person was ever revealed or not but I would love to work that into the film.

That's mentioned by Peter in an interview with Gaming Steve (Real name Steven Glicker). Very rough memory but try 2005-2006. May be easy to find if he hasn't done many interviews with Steve since.

Hey everyone

We're doing our next round of interviews in late July. We'll be driving from Vegas to LA and then ending in San Fransisco. We managed to line up a pretty high profile interview so Im pretty pumped about that. Hopefully it could lead to more connections within the industry as he does have some influence in that circle. Can't say exactly who at this point...will have to wait until we get back.

Anyway, I wanted to extend an invite for anyone in the areas we'll be travelling. If you want to meet up and say a few quick things on camera about what Shenmue means to you and why its so special etc you are more than welcome too. My plan is to gather a bunch of quick 'streeter style' fan interviews during this whole thing. What it will be used for exactly Im not sure, but it will be nice to have just in case. Perhaps we could even grab a a coffee/beer afterwards depending on the time of day :)

On July 20th we will be taking Route 15 to LA, then leave the 24th for SF. Flying back to Canada on the 26th.

Shoot me a message if you would like to meet up and I'll see if it works.

The documentary now has an official title, its being included is a series of feature length documentaries that Fauxpop media is creating called :The Definitive History. The first one was of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, now they are simultaneously working on one about Shenmue and Conan the Barbarian.

I'm good friends with them and we work together on stuff all the time. The project is in good hands!

I'm very interested in this documentary and as much as I love Shenmue I hope this feature has a fair amount of criticisms regarding the games. Things like development troubles, things fans dislike about the series, what they think could be better, marketing drama, development drama, drama at sega, saturn to dreamcast information, both sides to the controversy of Shenmue II moving to Xbox, etc.

I mean, as much as I adore the series I would find a 60+ minute video of circle-jerking over it to be quite disappointing, no offense.
