A short film by Jeremy Rubier, featuring Shiga Atsuo (11 mins)
Shiga Atsuo’s life has been filled with wonderful spiritual experiences and enigmatic encounters. Whilst living on Izu Oshima, he come across the sacred tsubaki tree,
an experience that set him on his quest to the Shimane region, the motherland of tsubaki. He now lives with his family in a fishing port nearby the ancient Izumo Grand Shrine. In the wooded hills and forests that traverse the Shimane coastline, the winds from the Japan sea carry salt, and the volcanic soil contains nutrients and metals vital for the healthy growth of tsubaki. Similar to the vineyards that produce the finest wines, the quality of the soil, the terroir, is as important for tsubaki as the climate. Within this peaceful and inspiring landscape, Atsuo strives for a sustainable future for his family and the local community. Welcome to The Tsubaki Forest.
Many thanks to
Jerome Floerke

One year ago, our director Jeremy Rubier completed his first feature film, Sayo. With the help of an amazing crew, we managed to complete it in less than a week, with a little less than 3 months of pre-prod. One year after, the film travels around the world and time to time win prices. And the best thing is that we found a distributor, Mutiny Pictures, that will help us to share it as far as we can. Hopefully, you will be able to watch it soon. Thank you for the support.

“Dame” in Japanese means “Forbidden.” In such a strict society, it’s something we hear often. Film and production are dominated by a similar ideology: that to make amazing work you have to have a huge budget and team otherwise it’s impossible. We don’t believe that, and we have track records to prove it.
We believe every idea should have the chance to exist. We strive to make meaningful work that shares messages, ideas, concepts, and stories that matter. Stories that are bigger, that are more imaginative. We don’t want to follow this “dame” society, a society that is afraid to try, that is afraid to think outside the box, that treats audiences like idiots. We want more than “likes”, we want to engage our audience, to make them dream, teach them, inspire them.
We’ve worked with clients from around the corner to around the world. We have shot in 35 different countries, worked with more than 50 major brands, made hundreds of ad campaigns, documentaries, music videos, commercials, fashion videos, short films, streaming and we’re just getting started.
We are more than an international collective, we are a family. We are a small team bound together by an insatiable thirst to create. Each member is multi-talented and has a diverse skillet, from writing, editing, producing, shooting, making music, fixing, to fx’s, we do it all. It’s the sum of our parts which sets us apart.
We are the Dame Boys, we play by a different set of rules.
