After visiting the festival in 2013 with the short film Wandering Alien Detective Robin (which you can view here), beginning director Lisa Takeba returned to this year’s edition with her first feature film The Pinkie; an energetic, over the top and fun debut that has something for everyone. Bringing the audience a mix of comedy, sci-fi, drama, a twist of craziness and even some bloody action, The Pinkie surely is an enjoyable 65 minute ride.

The story follows Ryosuke (Ryota Ozawa), a guy who since the age of 5 has to deal with stalker Momoko (Miwako Wagatsuma), a girl that just can’t leave him alone. She adores him and even had plastic surgery to be Ryosuke’s type, but he wants nothing to do with her.
