Hi!! I’m very happy to share with you a short film I directed with my brother Simon Leclercq.
This is a 2min made for the Nikon Film Festival following the theme of the 2024 edition : Fire. 🔥
A Big Thanks to the amazing team that made this short film possible! ❤️
Nozomi Kuroda (Hiyori Sakurada) is in the 2nd grade of high school. One day, she finds a letter in a classroom desk. The letter has only the word "like" written on it. The person who wrote the letter is Jun Setoyama (Fumiya Takahashi). He happens to be the most popular boy at the high school. Nozomi Kuroda feels embarrassed, but she eventually leaves a reply in a shoe closet at school. This is how their secret exchange diary begins. Nozomi Kuroda soon learns that the intended recipient for the first letter was her best friend. Nevertheless, Nozomi Kuroda is attracted to Jun Setoyama, who expresses his thoughts and feelings unlike her. She's unable to tell him the truth that the person exchanging messages is her and not her best friend.
Based on novel "Kokan Uso Nikki" by Iiyo Sakura (published August 28, 2017 by Starts Publishing).
At first, I wasn't too keen on Hiei's costume design for the Yu Yu Hakusho live-action, but I'm coming around to it. Mildly upset about the eye color change, but it looks pretty ✨
