The program was scheduled for 5 days alongside the American Film Market 2014 – the largest international film trade fair in North America held in November each year in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Approximately 20 young filmmakers from around the world joined this year’s program.

In addition to meeting some of the directors, producers, agents, and entertainment lawyers currently working in Hollywood, receiving wider knowledge regarding entertainment business, and getting special tips on “How to pitch a project Hollywood style”, participants experienced a fruitful five days in Los Angeles, including a studio tour to the headquarters of Warner Bros.

Mr. Osako said, “It was a valuable journey which made me realize that there are not only chances in Japan but also more opportunities worldwide. I would definitely like to make the best use of this experience for the future.”
