SUMMARY:Guerrilla Filmmaking: Seeking Forgiveness Not Permission
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Darryl Wharton-Rigby\, Temple University 
 Japan\n\nOverview:\nThis presentation explores the principles and practices 
 of guerrilla filmmaking—a low-budget\, independent approach to cinematic 
 storytelling that operates outside the traditional studio 
 system.\n\nGuerrilla filmmaking emphasizes improvisation\, 
 resourcefulness\, and the mantra “seek forgiveness\, not permission.” 
 It relies on available resources\, handheld cameras\, and the ability to 
 adapt in unpredictable environments.\n\nThrough firsthand case 
 studies—STAY\, a feature film shot in Tokyo\, and a proof of concept for 
 the upcoming film Polaris—this talk examines strategies for filming in 
 uncontrolled public spaces\, including trains\, streets\, and iconic urban 
 locations like Tokyo Dome City.\n\nWhile embracing the spontaneity and 
 creative freedom of guerrilla methods\, the presentation also considers how 
 filmmakers can work ethically and responsibly within the legal frameworks 
 of the locations they use.\n\nThe discussion highlights the balance between 
 preparation and improvisation\, offering insights into how to maintain 
 artistic vision while managing the logistical challenges of guerrilla 
 production.\n\nModerator: Kyle Cleveland\, ICAS Co-director and Associate 
 Professor of Sociology\, Temple University Japan\n\n\n  Institute of 
 Contemporary Asian Studies\, Temple University\, Japan Campus
