Aha Moment: Filmmaker David Boyle
Take a Mormon from Utah, teach him Japanese, send him to Australia, and what do you get? For David Boyle, enough material for two feature films about the Japanese culture set both in the U.S. and Japan. In November, Boyle’s latest movie, “White on Rice,” won the audience award at the San Diego Asian Film Festival. Even though Japan looms large in his movies, he says it’s always the story of his own family that he’s telling. Produced by Lisa Katayama.
