We didn't watch it at all actually during that time, we only wanted it to be a conduit for Kumiko's journey, didn't want to do a winky riff on it...

Some of the challenges included shooting in two different countries, in a foreign language, and filming in harsh winter conditions. However that's what we signed up for so it was an amazing experience. The first half of the film was shot in Tokyo, the second in Minnesota. We had entirely different crews for each unit and they were both fantastic to work with.

I have a very narrow skillset, it's all we've ever known how to do! We've been making movies since we were little kids with a hurky VHS camera, and everything we've done since has been built upon that...

Thank you! We have several in the works, it's just a matter of which one we can get launched first.

We don't have one particular shot, there's too many we love! And in the same way we don't have a particular message we're trying to project, we'd rather leave some breathing room and respect to the audience in coming up with their own point of view, which is far more interesting than anything we'd try to project onto them...
