Hi,
I'm Keishi Kondo who is an indie-film maker from Japan.
Today I would like introduce our new feature-length film called "NEW RELIGION" for you.
NEW RELIGION is a Japanese art film influenced by science fiction and horror films.
The film metaphorically captures the moment when the boundary between oneself, one's own dreams, and the boundary between oneself and others becomes thin.
I shot this film in between my regular work and got a lot of fascinating footage that I'm very happy with.
The film has already been shot and is now in post-production.
However, there are numerous processes to complete, including color grading, composition, and sound effects. Since we need a few more funds to bring this amazing footage to completion, we decided to ask for everyone's help on this platform.
I promise you that through this film you will get the inspiration to bring out a new sense in yourself. However, since this film is a very small scale Japanese production, the chances of it being seen by people overseas are quite slim at the moment.
I think this campaign is the fastest way to discover the film so far.
I highly recommend it to all film fans.

Miyabi lost her only daughter in an accident.
After her daughter's death, she got a divorce. She now works as a call girl and is living with her new boyfriend.
One day, she meets a strange customer who asks her to let him take a picture of her spine.
She does as the man says and lets him take her picture, but he then asks for a picture of her feet.
Since then, the man has been taking pictures of Miyabi every time.
Then one day, when Miyabi is at home, she is struck by the sensation of a small hand caressing her leg.
She intuits that it is her dead daughter and realizes that every time one organ is photographed, that part of the body will be able to perceive the spirit of his daughter.
The last remaining part of her body is her eyes.
The story of the loss of an individual eventually leads to the collapse of a society.
