I made a film called "Searching For Kurosawa". This short documentary chronicles the story of Kawamura, a man who worked with legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa on the set of his opus "Ran". Kawamura was working in the BTS crew, but his footage got confiscated. It took almost 40 years to recover the footage and present that as his feature film.

My film got screened at the Academy Award-qualifying Bali International Film Festival and the Marina Del Rey Film Festival in the past month. It will be screening next month in New York City at the Asian American International Film Festival.

I wonder if there's a nice film festival in Barcelona or nearby.

Otherwise, I'll let you know once it's widely available.

There was one last year, but I missed it. I will check on that, but ping me a message if you learn that it's widely available, please. Thanks!
