Wakae is a really wonderful young woman from Nagoya Japan. She studies film
at USC. The focus of her Dissertation is on “Japanese experimental film
and documentaries.” The exhibit we discussed at lunch the other day was
something she helped work on. It is at the Academy of Motion Pictures
(Oscars) museum on Wilshire blvd. The exhibit is Cyperpunk Cinema. I am
absolutely clueless about what Cyberpunk is but apparently it’s quite a
thing among many young people. Wakae is working
on so many interesting aspects of women and diversity in film. She has
curated several women’s film discussions and I love to listen to her
stories about her family in Japan and her ideas on film. She is creative
and full of life and fun. Her sweet joy and enthusiasm is contagious.
