Introduction

The production team of “The Journalist (2018)”, an award-winning film has come together again!

The film uses the world-acclaimed Japanese culture "Noh" to depict the overwhelming beauty of a Japanese traditional village, which will captivate all genres of audiences, as well as many killer shots of Japanese beautiful cultures and sceneries that the world expects to see.

It depicts a microcosm of recent society and the problems that are about to happen in any place in the world today.
This is a magnificent story of a man and the villagers of a marginal village in Japan.

The story starts when a man with a stutter (a symbol of young people who feel themselves as outsider) who comes to the village, and the villagers (symbolic of conservative Japanese), who live in the good old Japanese landscape start a new life together.
The film depicts the themes of "division" and "environmental problems" through the confrontation with the authorities who carry forward environmental destruction for their personal selfish desires.

The film stars Ryusei YOKOHAMA who is both popular and talented and a group of gorgeous actors representing each generation. A chemical reaction is now born together by the most effective production company Star Sands and the extremely talented young director Michihito FUJII.
