The life of one of Japan’s most iconic photographers… K5 Intl. has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a biopic film called Ravens from Japan, made by a British filmmaker named Mark Gill (his second feature after England is Mine). The film is premiering at the 2024 Austin Film Festival underway right now – which is this teaser it out to view.

The cast also includes Kumi Takiuchi as Yoko, Sôsuke Ikematsu, Kanji Furutachi, and Gô Jibiki.
