Former Ultraman series director Konaka Kazuya creates an endearing ode to the old-school, no-frills style of amateur filmmaking of his student days. During the midst of Star Wars fever in the late 1970s, a cinephile high schooler teams up with three classmates to make his no-budget sci-fi masterpiece for a class project. Any aspiring or professional filmmakers will see themselves in Konaka’s pseudoautobiographical story as it traces the heroes’ long road to their magnum opus, taking a fun nostalgic glimpse into the fearless exploration from developing a script to creating special effects.
