‘Hand-Drawn: Documentary’: A Documentary Film of Hand-Drawn Anime Starts Crowdfunding – Mamoru Hosoda & Mitsuo Iso Make Appearance

A crowdfunding started to make the film ‘Hand-Drawn: Documentary’, a documentary film that captures the current state of hand-drawn anime. Japan’s representative animators, such as Mamoru Hosoda and Mitsuo Iso will appear in the film.

‘Hand-Drawn: Documentary’ is a feature-length documentary film by Felicity Morland, a movie director in Canada. In search of a new direction of hand-drawn animation, the film features professionals in the anime industry worldwide, including Japanese animators.
