A film by a life-long New Yorker. Dedicated to the those who perished on 09/11/01 and to their loved ones.
15 years... Its really been 15 years. Today, as we all know, is September 11th, 2016, which marks the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. which resulted in 2,996 deaths and the complete destruction of the World Trade Center and the west-southwest side of The Pentagon. For those of us from NYC, we know this pain all too well. The tragic event was a scar that we will never get rid of... but we pulled through the rubble. It took us a long time but we prevailed. In the midst of all the horrible things that took place, we saw the light and made it past that dark time together. As a filmmaker living in NYC, Yoko Higuchi chose to offer his voice and vision to the world, so he created this short film in honor of those who have lost their lives in Lower Manhattan [and to their friends and family]. Using footage shot from the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and stock footage from that horrific day, we present to you this 9/11 short film. Remember what happened that day. Dont shy away from it. Face it. We lived. We prevailed.

What is death? In this new short film, entitled The Shades of Death, a man named Terrence, portrayed by Nadeem Ali, exists in a metaphysical state as two beings, Malik and Idris, played by Shaquille Henry and Yoko Higuchi respectively, guide him through his questions about life and death. This is a rather different film from the others we created as there is no distinct setting with a very heavy neo-noir style in its visuals. For this new take, we hope to see some of the things we can do with visual effects and non-linear storytelling.
ENJOY!!!

6 months after the release of All Too Human [can be found here http://www.youtube.com/theresistancerises], Yoko Higuchi went back behind the camera before leaving for his month long trip to Japan to create a short film that reflects upon what it means to be human, which is the first film in the productions.
Once again featuring long time collaborator, Nadeem Ali, and shot in various locations in New York City, this is a rather dark and thought provoking short featuring much philosophical and religious subtext featuring a track by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
