Kaiju Guy!

怪獣ヤロウ!

Nippon Visions   ½ 

Ichiro Yamada has been fascinated by giant monsters since childhood and finally sees the chance to fulfill his dream of shooting a kaiju movie when the mayor of a small, sleepy town tasks him with creating a promotional film to boost tourism. With self-irony, Junichiro YAGI presents an affectionate homage to filmmaking and the kaiju genre.
