Celluloid: The Magic beneath us

A glint of familiarity peered through the wilderness of life, and even though the spark seemed tiny and insignificant, it spoke to something deep within his heart.

There are not many things Takurō Kanōya loves more than movies. He spends his summer break working part-time at a small arthouse cinema and even enjoys writing his own screenplays … but lately he is struggling to find the right words. Like a side character who noticed his insignificance to his own life, he is unable to fix the yearn for some meaning.
He did not anticipate stumbling upon the photography artworks of a girl that reignited the flame of inspiration inside his heart. Their profound beauty seemed to somehow resonate deeply with him. And he would not have believed that there was more connecting him and their creator than the Celluloid film their beloved works were captured upon.
