Opening in the rundown city of Hiroshima, we witness the events leading up to the bombing through the eyes of Gen, a young boy growing up in post-war Japan. Fortunately when the bomb detonates, Gen is shielded by a stone wall. Others are not so lucky and are burned to death instantly by the 5000 degree heat flash. As Gen runs home to find his family, he sees victims of the bomb blast staggering around shocked and helpless in the rubble, their skin burnt and melting.

When Gen reaches home he finds that his house has collapsed, trapping his father, brother and sister in the wreckage. Pulling his pregnant mother to safety, Gen watches as the rest of his family are burnt alive.

What follows is a night-marish journey into the unimaginable horrors of atomic war and the struggle to survive in a place that has been destroyed by the most devastating device ever conceived by man. [Producer’s description.]

As know, some classroom materials invariably work, no matter the group of students. Barefoot Gen is one of them.

Barefoot Gen, a Japanese animated feature film, tells the story of Gen (pronounced with a hard “G”), a young boy who, along with his mother, survives the bombing of Hiroshima.

The story chronicles their as they try to rebuild their lives from the bomb’s ashes. It is based on the critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical comic book series Hadashi no Gen, by Keiji . Both the strip and the feature oppose the Japanese government’s actions during World War II and include criticism of the intense poverty and suffering forced onto the Japanese people by their government’s war effort.

In the lesson, Haiku and Hiroshima: Teaching About the Atomic Bomb, Wayne Au describes how he introduces the film to high school students and how he follows up with haiku written by survivors of the bombings and students’ own writing.

Wrapping up design work on a pitch deck for THE LAST WITCH, a feature documentary now in production and raising finishing funds. THE LAST WITCH tells the story of the last woman to be convicted in the Salem Witch Trials and how, 300 years later, a middle-school teacher and her students lobbied the Massachusetts legislature to finally exonerate her. It's been a fascinating project to work on! With my schedule opening up, I'm currently able to take on new projects. I offer a special rate for filmmakers and film-related projects! johnfilms.com/lrm

Financing a out of my own pocket. Anyone have any suggestions for shooting a police interrogation scene? Was thinking something with concrete walls and metal tables. Maybe a storage unit?

I was crew, roped in as an extra (as the gal roasting meat on BBQ, dressed in full pig costume) for this . Crazy experience! I was on set for 26 hrs straight - non-union, slave like hours. This film took over 2 yrs of retakes! We filmed at same location where Canada's Next Top Model was filmed, few yrs later. I had to rescue a drunk ass extra from cliffside after he stole my pig head, drank tons & decided he was gonna try to jump & swim in inlet; between takes🤡

Looking back on 2022 & forward to 2023… Would love to manifest more & opportunities next year.

Here’s a short clip from ‘Anonymous’, written & directed by Alasdair MacKay, in which I play Chloe, a lawyer at an AA meeting. In 2022, the film screened at the Romford Film Festival & won awards at several other festivals. Hoping for distribution news in 2023!
