TEPPANYAKI (2013)

I shot this film on location at a Japanese steakhouse in Chattanooga, TN. I wrote the script, raised the funds, acquired the location, and worked closely with head chef and first-time actor Hideki Takamura. The excerpt below is a slice-of-life glimpse at the life of the hero, a disillusioned hibachi cook.

Below is a brief excerpt of the screenplay that is brought to life in the clip above.
