The challenges of being a FOREIGN FILMMAKER in Japan

My friend David is an accomplished filmmaker who's been living, working and teaching in Japan for over ten years.

In this unfiltered and honest chat, we sit down in a cafe in Tokyo to chat about his career beginnings as a Manga assistant and graphic designer, his first steps into the complicated world of Japanese film business, as well as the recent deluge of YouTubers and influencers operating from Japan.

Obviously we can't get past such timeless topics as the expat experience, loneliness and how to get friends in Tokyo.
