It has already screened at ShortShorts in Tokyo and won the audience award as well as playing at the Palm Springs International Film Festival as it was the winner of future filmmaker award and the runner up for the audience award there. It has also been selected to play in San Francisco soon in the Frameline Film Festival and that is just a small part of this film's success… With the help of some fundraisers in LA and donations from Japan and Kickstarter this film was made possible.
