Do 'real men' make their own luck? This is one of the questions at the heart of BLACK DARUMA, our upcoming pschodrama / horror film all about a man obsessed with a so-called lucky doll he hopes will turn his life around. We filmed every shot from the perspective of the doll, giving the image a warped 'fish-eye' view on the man's world.

What secretly brings you luck? Or do you make your own??
