TheTwoOhSix: Changing Directions Podcast Series: Ema Ryan Yamazaki - Director of Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams

Director Ema Ryan Yamazaki joins the Changing Directions podcast series to talk about her documentary Koshien: Japan's Field of Dreams. Yamazaki hits a home run with this highly entertaining documentary about the annual high school baseball tournament that is considered to be the biggest sporting even in Japan.

Being a lifelong baseball fan and Mariners fan, I found this documentary to be a fascinating look into the world of Japanese baseball and when I found out that director Ema Ryan Yamazaki is a die hard Ichiro Suzuki fan, I knew that she would be a perfect guest for the podcast. We had a great chat about the documentary, about baseball, and about how Ichiro has inspired her to do great things. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the conversation we had about movies and baseball.

Changing Directions is a podcast interview series focused on diverse and emerging filmmakers who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for women and people of color while creating amazing films.
