I was both an executive producer and financier for Japanese-Canadian short film ‘Cafe Racer’ starring Aya Furukawa of Netflix’s ‘Babysitters Club’ and written by Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby. In the film, Aya plays Rini, a Japanese-Canadian teenager who wishes to stay connected to her father by pushing the limits of street racing, despite her mother begging her to quit.
