Production report Yvonne
I invaded Tatsu's house this weekend, his house was the set of our narrative 2 project. In between shots, I talked to him and his mom who was visiting from LA. During this time she told me that TaTatsu immigrated from Japan when he was 12. She says it was very hard for him to fit in, his english was bad. I have a feeling that his inability to communicate turned him to music. I'll be contacting her via email in the next two days. She was telling me about her life as a model and actress in Tokyo when she was young. I gathered a few stills of mine and a few borrowed ones that I want to borrow for the doc. This week is a busy week, I should be shooting live footage at Whiskey bar (one of tatsus main gigs on fridays) and hopefully some studio and sushi bar footage the rest of the weekend. I compiled a few stills with a couple of Tatsu's original beats. Enjoy.

It would have been cool if you could have gotten an interview with his mom when she was down. If she has gone back already then maybe you could do a webcam interview, there was one that worked really well in Atom Smashers. But it is very fortunate that you got to talk to her because it will perhaps make it easier to correspond through e-mail. I'm glad things seem to really be moving along now. I think the idea of him feeling isolated when he first came here because of his lack of good English is definitely something to explore especially if it caused him to delve into his music. Hopefully, he will open up and give you some good material. I am looking forward to seeing it!
Yeah I spoke to her during production of the film we were doing at tatsu's house so i couldn't really sit down and talk to her.the production was not the documentary it was a crazy hectic shoot. I think she's going to be really cooperative and it will give me a lot to work with when it comes to what made tatsu into the artist he is today.
