About the film:
a taste of kiss is a dark sci-fi love story where, in the not-so-far-future, mankind has achieved near-immortality through gene manipulation, but at an ironic cost. That is until, in one brief moment, one man rediscovers what it is to be human...
About the director:
Educated in film making in the United States, Ippei Nishihara is an
award-winning independent film director and producer whose past
achievements include a nomination for the prestigious Student Academy
Awards for his short film, "The Dreaming Egg." His involvement with the
production of each film ranges covers almost everything from start to
finish: screenwriting, shooting, editing, CG production, VFX, and
everything in between. Favoring the 'analog feel,' Ippei's style is
marked by a sense of minimalism in terms of production and production
materials, combined with modern digital processing to create a visual
tone that exploits the advantages of both methods of film production.
His first full-feature film, a taste of kiss,
was completed in 2011 and has since been screened at several movie
festivals in Japan. The soundtrack for this movie was created and
mastered by Massa Takemoto, with whom Ippei has been close friends since
their time as college students in the United States.
