Hello everyone, <br>
<br>
Taku Aoyagi's documentary Tokyo Uber Blues is making its North
American launch this month and the director Taku Aoyagi is scheduled
to spend a week in LA, ahead of the film's broadcast on PBS (in the
prestigious POV slot) in October. <br>
The film is an entertaining personal <span
style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">view
of Tokyo during the pandemic from a speeding Uber Eats delivery
bike:</span><span> </span>A reflection on gig labor, the search
for meaning, and a city on the brink of burnout. <br>
</span>We are looking for an English-Japanese interpreter for his
stage presentations and Q&As, the details which will be clear
shortly. <br>
The current dates we need are Sept 23 and 24. Please contact me off
the list. <br>
<br>
Here's the schedule. <br>
