I'm gonna say it: Chantal Akerman is a brilliant filmmaker and her movies contain a lot of insight into what it's like to be a human being. I know this is a shocking take, but I must speak my truth

Through it all, he was the nicest, coolest guy. Just so stoked to be working with us. It was surreal. I don't wanna oversell it or be weird about it, but it was probably the best week of my life. I love Japanese movies so damn much. It all felt like a dream. I've loved making this so much.
A bit about this: Tsukamoto invited us into his archive last October after about a year of dreaming and concepting with him. Everything was open to us: nearly 50 years of vital (no pun intended!) Japanese and independent film history. Some photos I dug up from that trip.

Really can't recommend this documentary highly enough. Punches through any kind of cynicism or, honestly, justifiable moral concerns you may have about it going in and shows you something that feels timelessly urgent and galvanizing. Ending homelessness should be all anyone is ever thinking about
