[KineJapan] Tokyo Uber Blues in LA and PBS

[Fujioka Asako]

Hello everyone,

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.
The film is an entertaining personal view of Tokyo during the pandemic 
from a speeding Uber Eats delivery bike:A reflection on gig labor, the 
search for meaning, and a city on the brink of burnout.
We are looking for an English-Japanese interpreter for his stage 
presentations and Q&As, the details which will be clear shortly.
The current dates we need are Sept 23 and 24. Please contact me off the 
list.

Here's the schedule.
