Sohmen Party
When shooting goes on for a long period of time, a sort of fatigue which cannot be expressed with words accumulates for both the staffs and cast. That’s why we need to take little breaks from time to time. It becomes an important event in preserving the unity of the team.
In the past, we’ve served handmade “pork soup” for night time shootings during the winter, and at times, there was curry.
When we were shooting “Touch a Dream”, Tomokazu Miura-san acted as leader, and he hosted a barbecue party at the lakeside camp site by Lake Hamana.
During “A Delinquent’s Dream”, we had a curry party on the river bank of Yoichi Town, and our actress Kyoko Maya-san participated in the preparations for the event with the staffs and local supporters from early morning.
AND, since this is summer, a “sohmen party” is just the thing!
Delicious vegetables were provided as compliments of the people from the Chita Rinri Houjinkai , and with the help of the members of Yume Net Handa we had the first feast in a long time at the camp site of Tokoname.
Later on, our cameraman Ryu-san murmured in a feeling tone, “If we didn’t have that sohmen party at that time, the staffs and cast may have exploded from stress …”
Hey, don’t scare me like that! (laughs)
But it’s true that with the shootings in the hot weather day in, day out from morning to night, mental fatigue tends to accumulate even more than physical tiredness. And it’s quite natural that we start to miss homemade food after eating packed meals everyday.
The staffs were all energized, and they enjoyed playing catch and other outdoor games in the field nearby.
We are supported by so many people in so many ways. And this summer will become a wonderful memory for us along with the film. This is probably one of the great things about making a film.
Two nights later, we enjoyed ourselves again with another barbecue and fireworks by the waterway in back of our hotel. Luckily, we were able to avoid a riot with these events. We owe all this to the supporters of the Yume Net Handa.
