Born In Summer (1998)
A filmmaker plays with diary-docu and fiction as his camera joins his ventures into a phone dating club.

Borrowing the form of a diary-movie, the director unfurls an unpredictable and imaginative look into his own persona. 8mm experimental film by Murakami Kenji, the film that made his name.
