Tokyo Pop

'People look at Tokyo Pop and say it really does not look like a first film . I think that is because, aside from going to film school, I have a really deep and long education in how to make films ... I wrote the original story for this film .. . It is autobiographical in an emotional sense in tha t a lot of the feelings and thoughts in the movie come from things that I feel when I'm in Japan. I first started spending time in Japan ten years ago when I met my husband ... It was he who really developed Tokyo Pop for me.' (Fran Kuzui)
