This documentary captures a three-part narrative exploring the East River Endangered Rivers Project exhibition at NEPENTHES NEW YORK. The journey begins with a pivotal meeting with artist Ben Miller in Montana's landscapes, moves into the collaborative design process with South2West8 in NYC, and follows Miller’s distinctive painting sessions along the East River.
The film culminates in the flagship store’s exhibition, strategically timed to coincide with the apparel launch. As the director, Manabu Gaku Inada did more than just document the process; he served as a core collaborator, creating and debuting original digital artworks alongside Miller for the exhibition.
