A Script Reading of “Kintsukuroi” by Kerwin Berk
Friday, January 14th, 6:30 pm
Ikeibi Films will be partnering with J-Sei for a table read of select scenes from the new film Kintsukuroi, which will go into production in early 2022. The program will include live readings on Zoom by the actual cast, who will also be available for a Q&A afterward.
Kintsukuroi is a sweeping story about the lives of two Japanese American families as they struggle to deal with the devastating events of World War II. The new feature-length film is the latest project from Ikeibi Films and expands the stories of many of the characters who were first introduced in the short narrative film, “KIKAN – The Homecoming.”
Wendy Ito has to grow up quickly after she and her family are imprisoned in Topaz and lose everything. Shigeo Fujiwara’s life is irreparably changed when he answers the loyalty questionnaire. And Jimmy Ibata struggles to find his way after returning from the battlefields of Europe.
RSVP to jill@j-sei.org and indicate Movie Night 1/14 in the subject line.
