As a Black man in Japan, I don’t carry the same fear of police. That contrast shaped Polaris, a film about love, loss & legacy across cultures.

In Japan you can quench your thirst with your train pass.
No wallet. No problem. Just beep, sip, and go.
These little moments are the heartbeat of Polaris, a story rooted in everyday events, memory, and cross-cultural connection.

In Japan, seniors often gather in parks to play gateball, a mix of skill, strategy & connection.
In Polaris, we explore memory, aging & legacy across cultures. Like those elders, our characters carry history with grace.

At Tokyo Station, the center entrance was once reserved for the Imperial Family—a symbol of legacy and access.
It made me think of Polaris—a story that opens doors once closed.
