Film Stills: The Spirit of Japan (Arriving Soon)

During the Winter  of 2016 and in collaboration with Stephen Lyman, I traveled to the town of Ichikikushikino in the Southern Prefecture of Kagoshima, Japan to begin principle photography on the documentary short "The Sprit of Japan".  The film follows the traditional shochu making process and Tekkan Wakamatsu, a 5th generation shochu distiller taking over the company from his retiring father.
