WIT Life #271: New York Japan Cinefest at Asia Society
Events, Film, Translating/Interpreting, WIT Life, Writers Comments Off on WIT Life #271: New York Japan Cinefest at Asia Society
WIT Life is a periodic series written by professional Writer/Interpreter/Translator Stacy Smith (Kumamoto-ken CIR, 2000-03). She starts her day by watching Fujisankei’s newscast in Japanese, and here she shares some of the interesting tidbits and trends along with her own observations.
Last week I went to the 3rd annual New York Japan CineFest held at Asia Society. It featured six short films ranging in length from 4-30 minutes, many of which had already received awards at other film festivals. I attended with fellow JET alums, so it was fun to dissect the films together and relate them to our respective Japan adventures. The event opened with The Misadventures of Incredible Dr. Wonderfoot, and directors Grier Dill and Brett Glass were on hand to offer an introduction.
In addition, two of the movie’s stars, Tsukasa Kondo and Tadashi Mitsui, also shared their experiences of making the film. The former is actually one of the creators and stars of the web series Second Avenue, which follows two 20-something Japanese roommates in Brooklyn, an aspiring actress and a Japanese gay law student (played by Kondo). The first season of six episodes (mostly in Japanese with subtitles) are really entertaining, especially for viewers who understand Kansai-ben
.
It was fun to watch the quirky podiatrist Dr. Wonderfoot, but my personal favorite out of all the flicks (and audience award recipient) was one of the concluding films, Little Kyota Neon Hood (I also liked the final film Lil Tokyo Reporter that was based on the true story of L.A. Japanese-American community leader Sei Fujii). This film takes place in Tohoku and features 10-year old Kyota who is suffering from Read More
Thanks to JETAANY Board member Mark Flanigan, himself a former Rotary Peace Fellow, for sharing this. Mark also mentioned that 6 JET alums in total have received Rotary Peace Fellowships. Please note the July 1 deadline.

JETwit Job Hunter is a new feature started by Autumn Widdoes (Okinawa-ken 2010-14). Autumn is a writer with a focus on performance and film who will soon return to the job market herself. She’d like to put her four years of experience in Japan to good use in future employment.
WELCOME to the inaugural post of JETwit Job Hunter Profiles. The purpose of this project is to:
- Share profiles of job-hunting JETs and JET alumni, and
- Invite JETwit readers to offer suggestions, advice, and any other help, either by posting in the comments section of this post or by contacting the profiled job hunter directly.
- The goal is to help everyone find work and increase the rate of post-JET employment, which in turn will make us an even stronger alumni network and community.
Here’s the first profile. Take a look and see if you can help:
Job Hunter: Lauren Carroll (Mie-ken, 2006-09) is a JET alum currently seeking employment in the San Francisco Bay area, though she is also open to employment opportunities in other regions of California, Seattle, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Objective: To work in a cross-cultural industry that uses or taps into her creative background and skills in the fine arts as well as her interest in Japan and international exchange. She would like “to help new international transplants learn about and adjust to the US” and would like to work with Japanese people who are moving to the USA. She is seeking this type of work without the requirement of fluency in Japanese.
Areas of Interest:
- cross-cultural consulting
- international student advising at the university level
- international exchange as a coordinator
Job Hunting Strategies:
- Websites such as HigherEdjobs, JETwit, and Craigslist.
- Informational interviews with contacts in industries that she is interested in.
- Letting everyone she knows know that she is seeking a job in one of these fields.
Challenges: Lauren has faced the challenge of having to manage an extensive career search while also working full-time at a job that is ending in a month. She feels that the Bay Area is a very competitive job market, though it also offers an incredible amount of opportunities, and that she hopes to make the connections she needs to gain a foothold in the career industries listed above.
Web Presence:
- Her blog documenting her years in Japan can be found here: http://ieatdirt.blogspot.com
- To contact Lauren visit her LinkedIn profile.
To help this JETwit Job Hunter, post your comments below, or contact Lauren directly.
If you’d like to be profiled, click here to submit your information through the JETwit Job Hunter Google Form.
Reminder that there are a number of JET Alum professionally oriented LinkedIn groups set up to help you. By joining groups in fields that interest you, you can find and connect with other alums in that field.
