Talents Tokyo brings together 15 upcoming promising filmmakers and producers (Talents), who will receive lectures from film experts at the forefront of cinema that will share their experiences as a professional. Each participant will bring one developing project, which the four main experts and other local industry professionals will analyze on its various aspects, such as directing, producing and investment viability.
