Writer/Director of: Top Knot Detective, Koko: A Red Dog Story, Perished, It's a Snap! & Set Yourself Free - Actor in: Henry & Aaron's 7 Steps to Superstardom, #7DaysLater
In the early 1990s, a Japanese samurai detective series was aired in Australia and became a cult success. Titled in Japan Ronin Suiri Tentai (meaning roughly Deductive Reasoning Ronin), it was soon known in the West as Top Knot Detective. The original series was legendary in Japan, a cultural train wreck led by Takashi Tawagoto, a crazy writer, producer, director and lead actor; one who could not act, fight or write at all.
Amidst a viral outbreak, a broken man finds refuge in a storage shed in order to escape the violence, but accidentally traps himself inside. Isolated, alone and low on supplies, he is quickly stripped of all his humanity as he struggles to survive. As the days go by, the deteriorated man must rebuild his inner strength to escape, and finally confront his ultimate fear.
The true story of an ordinary dog, whose good fortune and ability to connect with people catapults him to fame.
