About the Creator:
Eric Bresler:
Born in 1979 in Watertown, NY, Eric Bresler began his film career with Otaku Unite! . Being extremely well-known within the anime industry, Bresler interviewed major industry figures, academic experts as well as dedicated fans during the production of Otaku Unite! Bresler had initially planned to produce a 15-minute short feature, but was convinced by enthused participants that a feature-length film was more appropriate for the scope of the documentary. After two years of interviews and traveling across the country, Bresler was finally able to produce Otaku Unite! , the world's very first feature-length documentary solely dedicated to anime fandom in the United States.
