Golden Globe Nominated ‘Inu-Oh’ Director Masaaki Yuasa Explores the 4th Dimension, Friendship and the Texture of Noodles in New Film ‘Daisy’s Life’


Masaaki Yuasa's 'Daisy's Life' explores friendship, time and sensory storytelling in animation, blending existential themes with bold visual ambition.

That film focused on a friendship between two boys connecting over a shared love of music and theatre, eventually landing on a note about stories continuing beyond the mortality of the human body. The team didn’t have as much material to share as in other work-in-progress sessions shown throughout the week, and focused more on the emotional aspect of the film as well as the ideas driving visual development. He spoke briefly about helping to define the look of “Daisy’s Life,” describing the process of figuring out complex camera direction in concert with the surreal spaces created for the film, like a garden blown up to the size of a forest, with gigantic leaves bigger than the young main characters.
