- Here I give my take on the current state of the Japanese indie film industry as of 2024. This is a perspective from an independent filmmaker living as a foreigner in Tokyo, Japan.

Much appreciated, Benjamin. I needed to hear this ^_^
I understand 100%
Great insight bro. Don't stop what u do!!!
Thanks! I'm definitely not giving up!
Great insights on film industry from foreign perspective. Would love to see and know more!
Thank you!
Finnish film industry is very much the same, exclusive and pretty much closed for the foreigners trying to get in. I can definitely relate and this needs to be changed.
@@SpinMoveBasketballyeah man, we all gotta do our part to push the change we seek.
Good insights.
Glad you think so!
Yo man, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this. I thought maybe I just wasn't in the right circles, but you're right. Everything is really gate kept with the studio systems here. Even still it's quite surprising the amount of low quality Japanese films I see on Amazon prime out here.
But I think with the rise of social media in Japan, I think it's a great opportunity to capitalize on a new way of presenting your stories and reaching out to a younger generation of Japanese viewers who are craving more global content. Heck, most of my Japanese friends don't even watch Japanese Tv or movies.
Good point! Social media is a great tool that can help shift the perspective on Japanese cinema. We need more people who are willing to push for higher quality Japanese films.
Benjamin, this is very thought-provoking and insightful. I am glad to hear that you are continuing on your creative journey in Japan.
