It was recently revealed that actor Yusuke Iseya completed filming of Seiji: Riku no Uo, his second project as a director, on November 30th.
After debuting as an actor in 1998, Iseya set a goal of becoming a director and went on to take a film course in New York City. He made his directorial debut with Kakuto (2003), which he also co-wrote and starred in.
His new film is based on a novel by Tomoki Tsujiuchi, who won the Dazai Osamu Prize for “Takiko-chan” in 2000 and also wrote the novel that inspired the recently-released film Shin-san: Tanko-machi no Serenade.
“Seiji” is set 20 years ago as a 4th-year university student commutes to a drive-in located off the highway called “HOUSE475” every day during his last summer vacation. Much of the story involves his interactions with the drive-in’s owner and a few other regulars.
The film will be released sometime next summer.
