My Take
There's something quietly impressive about someone who studied at Osaka University of the Arts and came out the other side doing all three jobs at once — directing, acting, and writing the script himself. Hidenobu Abera, born in New York in 1989 and raised in Osaka, feels like a very specific product of that city: a place that's loud and warm and a little weird in the best way, and I can't help thinking that DNA bleeds into his work. The triple-role thing isn't just a resume flex either — it's a different way of seeing a story, because the person in front of the camera also built the whole world behind it. He's still in his thirties, and the way he splits his work between a filmmaking collective and an acting agency makes me more curious, not less. I'm watching to see what he makes next.
