Big Dreams Little Tokyo
A burgeoning American businessman struggling to gain a foothold in the ultra-competitive world of Japanese business shares an apartment with an aspiring sumo wrestler whose weight and blood pressure seem to be holding him back from true success in a quirky outsider comedy from director Dave Boyle. Boyd (Boyle) has a natural flair for the Japanese language, yet despite his versatile language skills, keen business sense, and his his best efforts to fit in, he repeatedly finds himself shut out. Likewise, Boyd's Japanese-American roommate, Jerome (Jayson Watabe), seems to be caught in a frustrating cultural vacuum due to the fact that he can't seem to find total acceptance in either Japanese or American social circles. Now, as both men struggle to make inroads to future success, they soon discover that in regards to their professional aspirations in the global community, one's cultural identity is but a minor component in a much larger picture. more..
