Monday: Received the preliminary Japan-side budget for my feature film and spent the day reviewing it. Continued contacting international sales agents ahead of AFM, updated my Cinando profiles, and checked the film's rights with my attorney.

Saturday: Attended the AI Film Summit in LA. Some of the work was incredible! People once criticized digital filmmaking, but now it's the norm. Maybe AI will be too in 5–10 years.
Afterward, filmed more BTS content for YouTube. Exhausted. 😩

Sunday: Back to working on the US-side budget. It's incredibly complicated.
Also edited another behind-the-scenes episode for YouTube.
Making a feature film while working full-time is exhausting, but I'm not giving up… 🎬

Since January, I've been documenting my journey to make my samurai feature film on Threads, mostly for myself.
I thought I'd start sharing my weekly progress here on X, too!
Here's what I did this week.

Saturday: Replied to my Japanese line producer.
Sunday: Asked a producer friend for financing advice, wrote a BTS script, and worked on storyboards.
Will I ever get this film made? I don't know. But I'll keep trying!

I grew up in Japan, where anime was just part of everyday life. Loving anime wasn’t “nerdy” or unusual — it was normal. Now I work in the anime industry while raising financing for my own live-action film.
I think great anime tells better stories than most bad live-action movies. Anime is limitless. But then I watched “The Drama” and saw what @Zendaya was doing with the tiniest movements — the twitch in her eyes, the shift in her eyebrows, the tension in the corner of her mouth.
