"Dear Kenzaburo, I wish for your happiness." Level 33 Ent. has revealed an official US trailer for an indie film titled
Cottontail, made by British filmmaker Patrick Dickinson. The film premiered at the 2023 Rome Film Festival last year and it also played at a number of other film festivals, including Istanbul and Sydney. In the quiet, tender film, a widower from Japan travels to England with his estranged son in order to fulfill his late wife's final request. Akiko had a dying wish: for her ashes to be scattered across Lake Windermere in the UK, based on a rosy childhood memory of chasing a
Peter Rabbit-esque cottontail. Father and son embark on a cross-cultural journey, taking us from the noise of Tokyo to the vast English countryside. This stars
