    I was in the Movie
    The filming of it was fun and a great learning experience for me. My family and I watched the premiere on opening night in Tokyo, Japan. The movie is interesting in storyline content, and one that leaves the ending to the viewer. Its Science Fiction content would leave any open minded writer the room to expand and possibly create another world within that the character's are thrust into. It is about a band of kids who attend an international school. An unusal warp gate pulls them into an unknown future, and one that isn't so friendly in the beginning. It deals with a boy who must break away from the ties of being irresponsible, to lead the survivors. As I said, the ending is left to the viewer. And for the time period that the movie was released, left a couple of tears trailing from audience members.
