WAY OF THE WARRIOR
DOCUMENTARY SHORT
LOS ANGELES
During my time in Los Angeles, I met World Champion Japanese Kickboxer Mutsuki Ebata. We were both living in the same Airbnb throughout February where I was building relationships and he was training with Manny Pacquiao's coach.
For the piece, I wrote the script by typing a dozen questions in English, translated to Japanese for his answers, then translated back to English so I could write the script. Then finally back to Japanese so he could read for voice-over.
The equipment we used for this piece was the Red Gemini, Atlas Anamorphic Lenses, and the Canon Scoopic MS 16mm Camera with 50D 200T 250D 500T Kodak Film Stocks.
I picked locations I've always wanted to shoot at or were meaningful to me during my time while living in LA. Shot over 36 hours these locations include Runyon Canyon, Hollywood, Amoeba Music, Venice Beach, Downtown Los Angeles, and the Airbnb we lived in.
