"I AM NON" follows her filmmaking process.

And she came to Tono in Iwate to make her film.

Why was she drawn to this town?

Hello!

The connection between NON and Tono is now revealed.

[I'll shoot my film here]

Do you have any particular area in mind?

Tono City. 00:00:35.368 --> 00:00:39.873 line:0% - Tono is good! - Really? [Takuya Tasso, Governor of Iwate]

It has the typical Iwate landscape

filled with nature, history, and culture.

It's my first time in Tono.

My hometown is a basin surrounded by mountains

and looks similar to this.

I remember rice fields just like this.

But Tono seems more mysterious.

The mountains start to look nice, too.

Of course, my hometown is beautiful

but it's not mysterious.

It soothes my mind and

it has that typical countryside feeling.

Tono feels magical.

When I thought of Tono,

"The Legends of Tono" came to mind.

So I started to gather any information I could on it.

It turns out that the author,

Kunio Yanagita, is from Hyogo.

When I found out the name of his hometown,

I knew it was very close to mine.

Something led me here. [The Legends of Tono]

It's fate that I came to Tono.

So I decided.
