Ohkubo works at a career design center. Frustrated by a coworker’s sudden leave, he asks HR to increase staff. Instead, a physically disabled employee is assigned to his team, increasing his frustration. HR advises him to see a medical advisor. When psychiatric treatment is suggested, he suspects an attempt to push him out. After a tense confrontation with the consultant, his behavior spirals out of control.
The
Making of
Active as a photographer in Japan since 2020, I have showcased my fine art photography in numerous exhibitions. I have independently produced several short films, which have been screened at prestigious festivals such as the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival and the Japan Film Festival Hamburg. Adopting a dual role as both director and cinematographer, I focus on human drama, weaving in contemporary themes that reflect my evolving artistic interests.
