Happening contemporary Japanese filmmaker Junji Sakamoto is currently shooting his new film—provisionally titled Human Trust.
This time Sakamoto is tackling the topic of the “M fund,” the secret trove of cash hidden by the Japanese army, and another fascinating and controversial page in Japan’s wartime history.
Human Trust is a suspense drama about people fighting against the capitalist system. The team has already shot scenes in Russia, Thailand, and New York City, and is finally back in Japan for the final stage of the shoot—which is where you come in.
His production team are looking for some extras to act as tourists in a couple of scenes. Transport to the locations are included and lunch. You will also receive a little gift, as well as getting on the road to cinematic stardom.
Check the info below to see if you fit the specifications, and get in touch fast, as the first opportunity is this Saturday! To apply, contact Kazu Watanabe. You will then be informed about clothes, etc.
The film will be released fall this year at Shochiku movie theaters all over Japan.
