Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s new film ‘Cloud’ is in post-production. I first came across KK a number of years ago with his awesome psychological horror film, “Pulse” (Kairo). If there’s one filmmaker’s career I could emulate, it would be his. However I’m a tad old to be thinking about longevity, but then it means I just better get a move on!
So, here’s a little something about the new film and his successes on the festival circuit.
Enjoy…

Geoff Hall Way cool. I am a fan of Kiyoshi and Asian films in general. The J Dramas fill my watchlist as much as the K Dramas do. :) Also, Japanese entertainment -- have you seen the views on any of their music clips on YouTube? Holy wow. North America really needs to diversify its talent more.

Geoff Hall You're right, anime is insane. Here's just one example of one band I like a lot: the B'z. 11 million on this studio clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygyOtMnNvCg
Okay, because I am a stan of Koshi Inaba, this one has 6 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrfv8SPQ32c

Great scene, Geoff Hall! The slow build up, the woman's creepy walk, the suspense.

Maurice Vaughan yes, the woman's creepy walk. It was filmed backwards to give it that strange movement. Big note to self there, for future reference.
