🍙 SYNOPSIS 🍙
Four-years-in-the-making, Big in Japan is a hilarious new doco about the nature of fame and the phenomenon of foreign celebrity in Japan. After hearing about the huge demand for foreign talents in Japan, three Aussie filmmakers ship their lives and girlfriends to Tokyo on an outrageous DIY mission to make ‘ordinary’ Dave famous. Along the way, Dave meets an eclectic crew of foreign celebrities at various stages of the fame journey, including American fighter-turned-TV sweetheart Bob “The Beast” Sapp, Adelaide-born crossdressing sensation Rick “Ladybeard” Magarey and Canadian J-pop wannabe Kelsey Parnigoni. But just how far must they go to reach the masses that real celebrity requires?

“Fame is a drug and Japan is the connection in this fascinating new doco.” – FilmInk
