Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

When the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension goes into service in 2023, we want Kagaonsen Station to be one of the stops. We will set up the Shinkansen Initiative Office at Kaga City Hall, and dramatize its activities as part of the PR efforts.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Regional revitalization videos are popping up all over Japan. With as many as 870 videos produced annually, it’s easy to get lost in all the noise, and it’s not very cost effective. Even if a video does cause a buzz, it’s usually only temporary. Regional promotion that has continuity and vitalizes the region at a fundamental level. It’s not just a PR video. It’s a movement created with the citizens.

Tell the jury about the casting process.

All actors are citizens of Kaga City. More than just a video, this is a great movement created together with the citizens. We will set up the Shinkansen Initiative Office at Kaga City Hall, and dramatize its activities as part of the PR efforts.
