Message from Momoko Ando and Hitomi Kuroki who have registered their portfolio at LLB.

Momoko Ando, a film director, commented, “Now is the time that everyone can make films. I am also a filmmaker, but I think that in Japan, there are still not enough opportunity for filmmakers to meet who they need. This LLB platform is field with full of hope. Talented young creators can make their dreams come true.”

Hitomi Kuroki, an actress and film director, commented, “I have directed two short films and held a screening last year, but I felt that I had not yet reached a large number of people. I heard about LLB and I wanted to participate and support it. I believe that various barriers such as language, regulations, and budget for filmmaking will be overcome on this platform. New encounters will be born as well. I would like to encourage everyone who is aiming to make a living as a filmmaker to participate, that way LLB will be great force to support them.
