"The most spirital film of the year? That is something you have to decide, hello everyone I'm Sharon Buller with NNNEntertainment, talking about an independent film that is being held by a small circle of critics. The film is called Yin and Yang, lets take a look at it. This lengthy dramatic film follows the lives to two Kuronan Girls, in two seperate parts of the country living very diffrent lives. One is the daughter of a wealthy business man named Kurai, who lives the bustling life both in and out of Kurona. The ability to travel any place in the world. The other is a poor humble farm girl in the west, Hikari. None of these characters ever meet each other in the film, so what is the connection? The answer is not only the incredible contrast of life. but the incredible contrast of spirituality. Hikari is from a strongly faithful LDS family. She follows the standards of her teachings and belifes and does her very best. While Kurai lives the fast life and perhaps the more sinful life. Although Hikari's family struggles there is no doubt about the happiness and unity they share as a family. Even into Hikari's adult life she seems to have a lot more happiness. While Kurai's family is more divided and Kurai falls victem to substance abuse and other problems that follow her into adult hood. Now the film has only been shown at small film festivals but the Director want's this film to hit the International Market. Akito Ogami who spent over a year developing the project and another year filiming it wants to see that his movie hits theators soon. Here he is with us, thanks for joining us."
My Pleasure.
"All right so we have the jist of the film, it's about a pure life and a sinful life, would you say this explains the title?"
Absolutley, Yin and Yang are meant as contrasting forces and that is what these girls are, contrasting.
"You your self are an LDS Member a convert to be exact what made you want to do this film?"
Well you are right I'm a convert. Here's the thing, before hand I lived the fast life. I left the Farm of Kurona and went into entertianment. I did drugs, I drank, I smoked, I had money it was supposed to be the goodlife, but you know what, I was miserable. I looked at my self and I was a wreck, I'm this unmarried loser who has no direction in life. So, I went back to Kurona and decided to settle down with a nice girl, who happend to be LDS and she converted me and now I live what I feel is the good life. I've noticed a tremendous boost in my happiness level, I'm no longer depressed like I was when I supposedly had it all.
"Would you see your film as a morality tale?"
"Absolutely. It is a Morality tale because it is promoting a moral lifestyle. In a way I suppose I'm promoting the Church but that isn't the whole intention. I will of course encourage anyone to come unto God and Christ but that is your choice, ultimatley if you take nothing else you can take this, you can live a moral lifestyle and be far more happier."
"So you hope this film will play on every continent of the world?"
"You bet. But marketing isn't cheap for a simpleton such as my self. So I'm hoping to use News Medias to help promote my picture. So far Kanami, and Aqua Anu have picked it up, but that is because of the great efforts of their film boards, and their independent film making spirits, but thoes are two of thousands!"
"Well thanks for joining us tonight we wish you luck with your new film. And if you think theators in your country would be intrested, or you just want to find out more about your film you can go to www.nsnews.com/films, you can also send in questions."
