I am a retired Navy Veteran living in Japan. I have been living in Japan for almost 20 years so their language and culture are almost second nature to me. Currently, I work on a base in Japan and do metal detecting on weekends.
Last year we found a samurai sword on one of our trips and posted the video on YouTube. That got me thinking of an adventure story where our team searches for the rumored Tokugawa treasure. So I wrote my first script with the help of the Japan Treasure Hunters team and the rest will hopefully be history...ha pun get it?
The screenplay is doing well at Film Festivals. So far so good.
