The film will be available as a special free streaming for a limited window of three weeks. This worldwide release (excluding Japan) marks this award-winning film's first-ever international distribution. The viewers can also enjoy the director's commentary as Sakka's exclusive bonus content.
When the film premiered at Moosic Lab 2018, it thrilled the audience by winning Audience Award, Special Jury Award, and Best Actor. It also screened at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, and had a rare theatrical release in Japan as a solo short film.
The director Yusaku Matsumoto is one of the most sought-after young directors in Japan today. His latest feature “Winny” debuted in Japan this March in the top ten at the box office. Sakka released Matsumoto's first feature film “Noise” (2018) earlier this month.
