Synopsis

An intimate documentary that follows the journey of two female directors through surprisingly lesbian Tokyo. They take us past Shinjuku-Nichome, where the gay center of Tokyo is located. Here we get to know six women who lead their daily lives there: a photographer, a trendy young lady, a legend of the lesbian nightlife, an activist, a mother and a young manga artist. These women speak very openly about their dreams and their current lives, which take place between the women's bars of Tokyo and their traditional Japanese values.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
