JIMOT CM COMPETITION

At the "JIMOT CM COMPETITION, local attractions known only to local people are made into a commercial in cooperation with Yoshimoto Kogyo.

This year, in addition to prefectures nationwide, the project involves not only all the 41 municipalities of Okinawa prefecture, the host of the festival itself, but also various ASEAN countries.

The "food culture" such as local cuisine and specialties has been featured as the theme in order to highlight regional characteristics better. Through the "food", which is most familiar to anyone, it is expected to represent local “cultures” including "people", "scenery", and other elements behind it.

All the entries in the category this year have been filmed with smart phone devices and edited using Dell Graphic Pro, a product of one of our supporting companies, in order to aim for better-quality production.

Through the results of the voting, 6 nominated works each from the Commercials from the 46 prefectures and Commercials from Okinawa’s 41 Municipalities have been selected.

All works will be shown at this year’s Okinawa International Movie Festival.
