My Dad, on the other hand...

My Dad also read Mamoribito - The One Who Protects and 'liked it, a lot' and thought it 'would make a great movie'

Thanks Dad!

Actually, Mamoribito started as a movie script - and now I'm developing the sequel.

There's also an origin story in the works - the tale of the original Mamoribito - due in 2022.
