I have a fascinating Japanese friend in his early 70s who I would like to interview about his life in Kyoto.
He is an amazing character with fantastic knowledge of this most beautiful city, its people and places. The documentary would be made whilst talking and walking through the streets with him. I already have a camera I can borrow for the project, a friend who's volunteered to help with sound recording and personal experience making videos (and a mac I can edit with). I'm just a lacking the funds for several day trips between my house in Yokkaichi (near Nagoya) and Kyoto and tape stock.
I've included a link to a short I made in Hiroshima (with the same DVCAM camera I'll be using for this project) covering a peace protest just prior to the start of the war in Iraq in March 2003.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
I will post clips from the completed film on Youtube when it's done. Keep an eye on my blog for details:

Great video! I hope you get funding. I think it is really important to preserve memories like this on film before it is too late.
