Join us for Hikari's new drama / comedy, a keenly observed contemplation about the importance of human connection.

We'll meet no later than 7 pm in the upstairs lobby of the Alamo Drafthouse for the 7.15 pm show.
I have seat 6 in row 6 if you want to sit close.

**Rental Family**
Set in modern-day Tokyo, RENTAL FAMILY follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.

I also recommend checking out "37 Seconds" - Hikari's first feature, which is available on Netflix.
