Hiro - Short Film

‘Hiro’ is a beautiful, unique short film about a Japanese insect collector and the journey that the quest for a rare beetle takes him on.

When Hiro’s precious beetle is stolen he finds himself thrust into a chase involving Yakusa mobsters, and a situation that is so much more than he bargained for. Directed by Matthew Swanson, a talented Canadian film-maker, the film shows Matthews great ability for story telling, as well as thrusting great pace changes upon the viewer without losing any feeling for the film and it’s subject.

Full length Film included within issue #19 of Specialten.
