CONGRATS SHO MIYAKE!

The new film by Sho Miyake is opening in theaters in Japan today!🎉 His latest feature SMALL, SLOW BUT STEADY premiered at Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year and enjoyed its international festival circuit. He is one of the most watched young filmmakers in Japan, though his career so far is already one to celebrate. Congratulations on the opening, Sho!

You can watch Sho’s film AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING (another Berlinale alumni) on SAKKA.
