With the movie industry grinding to a halt due to the spread of COVID-19, filmmakers around the globe have to be more creative than ever if they¡¯re to continue working during the crisis.
It¡¯s likely to be some time before shooting begins for full-length blockbusters, yet, as director Shinichiro Ueda has shown, it¡¯s still possible to make short films while stuck at home.
Ueda, 36, rose to fame in 2018 after his critically acclaimed zombie comedy flick, ¡°One Cut of the Dead¡± (¡°Kamera o Tomeru Na!¡°), made with a budget of just ?3 million, became the seventh-highest grossing domestic film of the year. Last month, the Shiga Prefecture native decided to reunite its cast remotely for his latest project: ¡°Kamera o Tomeru Na! Rimoto Daisakusen!¡± (translated as ¡°Don¡¯t Stop the Camera! Remote Operation!¡°), a short comedy that has been uploaded to YouTube.
