Night cap with Family Plot

Festival, Meeting with…

Interview with Shuichi Okita, director of Family Plot

How did you go about creating Family Plot? Can you talk us through the filming processes a little?
It was born out of a concept to make short films to promote a beverage product called Parada Calpis (Japanese beverage). The story that I wanted to make was selected to be turned into a short.

What did you want to explore in the relationship between Dobashi and the Sada family?
I was at a friend’s house once, and he didn’t have Wi-Fi, and I thought it would be convenient to use the landlord next door’s account. Based on that, I came up with this little burglary movie. The story was there first, and from there I came up with the characters of Dobashi and the Sada family. For Dobashi and the Sada family, it grew into a sarcastic story about filling the holes of what’s lacking in each other’s lives.

What do you hope the audience will get out of it?
If they can laugh and have a good time, that’s good enough for me, but if somewhere they can feel the excitement of a mystery movie, that would be great, too.

Would you say that the short film format has given you any particular freedom?
Yes, I think so.

What do you consider your cinematographic references?
The closing of my neighborhood video rental store. Hitchcock movies, and The Ladykillers.

Family Plot is part of International Competition I14.
