Warigami, a new series from director Jason Lapeyre (NSI Features First) and producer Laura Perlmutter (NSI Drama Prize), has its world premiere at this year’s Canneseries short form competition. Two episodes will screen tomorrow, April 10, at the Espace Miramar in Cannes.
In Warigami, Wendy Ohata has just made three startling realizations:
One, she has a twin brother named Vincent.
Two, she’s a kami-jin – a descendent of an ancient Japanese people who can turn paper into deadly weapons.
And three, there’s a kami-jin warrior named Sadako hunting her down for reasons she doesn’t understand.
