★Recommendation from Mr. Kazuki Omori, a filmmaker
This film reminds me of my first impression on one of Claude Lelouch works when I was at high school age. Giant canvas and countless painting colors are not always necessary. Only one sketchbook and a few watercolors are good enough to make a good movie.
Yes, that’s exactly how we have started our own filming.
