About How Neya Ryoka Became a Director
Twenty-three-year-old Neya Ryouka (Neya Ryouka) becomes an assistant director because she wants to be a film director, but she has been unable to direct any of her own films and has been unable to express her feelings to Keita (Mizushi Ahiumu), who she has been in love with since college. Ryouka is hesitant to work or fall in love, but when her senior, Satomi (Kobayashi Saya), confesses her feelings to her, she decides to say goodbye to her half-baked self by becoming a film director.
Directed by Naho Kamimura, How Neya Ryoka Became a Director leans on a strong ensemble — Ryoka Neya, Atomu Mizuishi, Misao Ueda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2020.
