Expedition uses the surrealist tool, an exquisite corpse, to explore the ideas of Birth, Dreaming, Friends, Kissing, Love, Magic and Immortality. Random subjects from the general public participated in unrehearsed storytelling moments playing from only the segment in the narrative chapter that came directly before theirs. The intimate and spontaneous nature of the project allowed participants freedom to be themselves or fictionalized characters - or both. The arch of each chapter proved to be personal, fantastical, comical and even heartbreaking at times. Bringing strangers together to make an absurd, artistic statement, Expedition takes you on an unexpected journey exploring archetypal moments of life.

Set in Tokyo, after the tragedy of 3.11, city started looks bright as used to, -Come Wander With Me portrays chaotic adolescent years of people in their early twenties who are living in Japan and grasping for their identities from the perspective of foreigners, half-Japanese and returnees crossing chaos of youth and daily documents by visual imagery. Using large amounts of found footage and collage, the film experiments with the presentation of reality and reflects upon aimless days in a modern society teeming with excess information and items. -Come Wander With Me to wonder.
