Sunlight Filmstudio

A first feature film in the works. A lighting master in Kyoto is working on her career at a film studio. Her creativity and assertiveness bring her to Europe, where she has to redefine herself in order not only to survive in her profession, but also to set new standards in film lighting and thus uplift people and a very close society, the film business, in their hierarchical ways Structures and limitations.

The film project is in pre-production. A research trip was undertaken to Kyoto from May to August 2024 in order to work with a team on site at the TOEI Filmstudio Kyoto and to refine the script, which was developed in a workshop with author Trey Ellis thanks to support from the Sundance Institute . The project is designed as a Japanese, German co-production and is scheduled to be shot in 2025. Discussions are currently underway regarding the question of financing.
