R.I.P, 2018

Type of project: Short film

Category: Director

Description: ​Dec.2018 ​Live-Action 14min. This work was made for my graduation research in the university I attended. I was inspired by“Wings of Desire”(1987) by Wim Wenders n the research of my 20000 word thesis in Japanese and a presentation to discribe the spiritual existence of“ghosts“ in natural ways like a usual humans in the movie. The story of this movie is about the girl“Kaori”who was killed in a traffic accident and woke up as a ghost to watch over her boyfriend“Masaru”. The twist was that Masaru was already having a relationship with a boy ”Syotaro” even as he was still mourning about Kaori. Kaori could only watch over them with sadness, as she is starting to forgive and accept them. ​ I had some oppotunity to experience a LGBTQ and feminist activists community even though I am straight and an outsider. When I heard their opinions and sufferings, I felt that we really need to share love, empathy and a kind of ”philanthropy”to understand other genders and cultures. We should love and believe each other as humans as the first step to understand. I wanted show such a message in this movie. Also I wanted to describe“pansexuality” and“bisexuality”which are not understood much in Japan.
