The working title is Tampon, it.s financed by private investors and Moore is in talks with distributors. Asked where he got the idea, the filmmaker tells If, .I read in a book that Akira Kurosawa's teacher Yama-San told him to write what you know and not to include a gun or a scene in a back alley. So I started with the first scene and it just flowed. It was finished 10 days later.
