FILM COURSE HELPS WITH FIRST STEP TOWARDS DREAM
Reprinted courtesy Dominion Post
She came, she trained, she won an award. Now she is taking her new film-making skills back to Okinawa to try and build the industry there. Azusa Yamashiro, from The Film School's June graduation class, is returning to Japan to work for one of the few production companies in Okinawa, after being one of the top students on her course.
Ms Yamashiro worked in the camera department on both of Crew 11's graduation films, once as director of photography and once as camera operator, and won the outstanding student award at the school's graduation ceremony. She is excited about working in the industry back in Japan.
'I want to help build a film industry in Okinawa,' she says. 'Hopefully this is the first step towards that dream.'
Ms Yamashiro showed outstanding application as a student, The Film School director Tommy Honey says. He was pleased she would be employed on her return home.
'It's good to know we have a friend in the Japanese film industry,' he says. 'We hope she'll return to New Zealand in the future.'
