The first, \u0026#39;HEY,BOY!\u0026#39;, follows Kaito, a boy living in violence and silence whose suppressed emotions explode into collision with society. Nanami Asahi, who previously worked with Ebisawa on \u0026#39;Ningen Modoki no Yojohan\u0026#39;, stars as Kaito. The second, \u0026#39;Miso no Tsubo\u0026#39;, centers on Yosuke, a man carrying past loss who quietly reconnects with the world through an encounter with a man who stopped. Bun Kimura, a fellow actor Ebisawa met at a workshop 10 years ago, takes the lead. Ebisawa directs, plans, and writes both films, with Tes Yamamoto co-writing. The video production team from4.5 is backing the project.
