The Dense Web of Connections that Led to Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo
Filmmaker Jessica Oreck dropped by ITVS last summer and walked us through her inspiration for making a documentary about insects in Tokyo. The documentary Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo airs Tuesday night on Independent Lens.

Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo, airing in the upcoming season of Independent Lens, sheds light on Japan’s love affair with insects. Filmmaker Jessica Oreck screened her film last weekend in San Francisco and shared her experience with BTB.
Last Friday and Saturday nights, the lobby of the Sundance Kabuki Cinema in San Francisco was crawling with live insects.
SaveNature.org partnered with Argot Pictures to present this one-of-a-kind event for the opening of my latest film, Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo.
