Anyhow! Eric Lim, the star and executive producer of this film, wanted me to make a quick post to connect you guys with two of his films that were part of how we ended up teaming up to do Secondary Education in the first place.

Eric was actually doing Toku stuff, WAY WAY before Secondary Education was even an idea, and that mostly manifested itself as two short films: ZERO TROOPER F, and GREENSIDE. They're a bit long though, at about 37 and 42 minutes each, respectively, so if any of you are willing to dive in, set aside a good hour and a half and buckle up, lol!

Eric finished Zero Trooper F in 2008. After watching it, I've sort of told people that Zero Trooper F is a bit like Ultraman and Science Patrol meets The Graduate, with a sort of Wes Anderson-commercial indie flair that sort of came around in full force in the 2000s.

Eric finished Greenside in 2009. It's sort of a loose sequel to Zero Trooper F in that it follows the same Universe centered around the Action Team F, but years and years later after society has been driven to a more fascist state. I've heard people say on the internet that Greenside is pretty much the same movie as Elysium, but with more martial arts, lol. You guys let me know what you think.

Thanks for sharing these! More Toku the better, and they look fun so I'll take a look.
