Just completed filming on a comedic short film with veteran dramatic actress Miki Mizuno.
In addition to my own short film, I recently did a short film for a submission to a film festival with veteran drama actress Miki Mizuno. I have known Miki for sometime now, but it was my first time working alongside her, and she was really cool to work with. In so much as I know this was also her directorial debut, (perhaps inspired by the success of “Hurt Locker”’s director? ). Also got a chance to meet a lot of cool people on set as well.
The short is a comedy about two guys sitting in a café talking about her while she is actually sitting in the café herself, and I was playing a disgruntled bartender at the café. In so much as I know this was also Miki’s directorial debut, (perhaps inspired by the success of “Hurt Locker”’s director? ) but things went really smoothly, and everyone seemed to have have a great time, and was laughing and enjoying themselves off camera as well. Very “ii kanji” (good atmosphere). For myself, this was my first attempt at doing comedy in Japanese, (aside from my over-the-top character in Yassy) but Miki seemed really happy with the result, so my performance couldn’t have been too bad ;) I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The short is in the process of being edited now, and hopefully will have a video of it to post sometime in the near future.
