Making The Film

Growing up in Japan, it was common knowledge that the Japanese people live the longest and healthiest lives in the world. Statistics gathered by the World Health Organization illustrate just how much healthier the Japanese are compared to the rest of the world. So how is it that a culture so obsessed with dining is also the healthiest? I began to think back to my mother's Japanese kitchen. She would often cook traditional, Japanese meals for my brothers and me. These meals usually consisted of fish, rice and several traditional roots and vegetables. Thinking back, I noticed that very little dairy or meat was used in Mom's cooking. This led me to wonder whether it would be possible improve ones health by simply switching from a typical western diet to a traditional Japanese diet. I decided to film this dieting experiment towards better health - one which would involve no calorie counting, impractical eating schedules, or spending hours at the gym. My latest film, Miso Hungry, is the documentation of this experiment.
