[KineJapan] (no subject)

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

You need to get permission to show the film. Contact the Japanese
distributor, confirm that they have the international distribution rights,
and ask for permission———pleading poverty. I would straightaway just offer
what you think you can pay.

They probably won't care about the subtitling part; but if you tell them
that you purchased the official disc and will use that along with the
project subs, it does mean a lot less work for them (just getting the
money). It might help, actually.

(Offer to send your titles, although they'll already have their own.)

Don't bother asking about other materials.

Every distributor is different. Good luck.
