With pressing deadlines, Atsushi kicked into action to fund-raise for our new series both through a grant-application and via crowd-funding…
Location Scouting!
We did amazing location scouting with our new Director of Photography Motomu Ishigaki and Line Producer Yoichi Sakurai - chekcking out park, streets and studio locations!
Acting in Japanese?!
We tested out acting also with Japanese dialogues?!
Exploring Dancing with Kellie
Learning that Kellie is also a dancer, we began to explore possibilities for expanding our script to include dance. How funny to see a new form of collaboration with a lasso and a hula-hoop?!
Experimenting with Kellie and Risa
Our project started when we rehearsed a short script that Atsushi wrote and asked Kellie and Risa to act it out along with him.
