Japanese filmmaker Sho Miyake has moved to the US with two feature films, Small, Slow But Steady and Two Seasons, Two Strangers, which explore the human desire to relate to other people. The films, which he shares with The Verge, tell us about his approach to filmmaking, which includes a focus on character interactions with others rather than self-centered ones. The director credits these films to his ability to capture the human nature of relationships with others. He also credits Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. as an inspiration for his work. Miyake's choice to adapt into a manga film to accommodate the need for a moving scene within the scene, which is always going to be shot with digital, but the smallest movements on film can be surprising and shocking.
