This week, we have Jason Gray, a veteran of the Japanese film industry with over two decades of experience. Beginning his career as a translator and film business journalist, he is now an accomplished feature film producer. His impressive resume includes producing five theatrical releases, such as Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s "To the Ends of the Earth" and Chie Hayakawa’s "Plan 75", which was Japan’s official entry to the 2023 Oscars. Gray's latest production, Hayakawa's RENOIR, was featured in competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival before its theatrical release across Japan.
