Winner of the 2015 Grand Prize in the Fantastic Off Theater Competition of Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival, Makeup Room is one of those films that only get made in Japan. We are talking about a comedy about the porn industry, with no sex scenes and very little nude, which take place exclusively in a makeup room, thus looking more like a stage play than a motion picture.
The script revolves around the lives and personalities of 5 Av actresses, their thoughts, dreams and on and off set issues, although the main lead is Kyoko, a makeup artist with a sympathetic ear, which tries to solve every kind of problem, while focused on making the girls look exactly as the director wants them to.

CEO Adam Torel quickly sealed a deal for the Japanese comedy with Joint Entertainment for Taiwan, and has agreed with Ryohei Masuoka, director of Japan’s Geta Films/Spirits Project, for them to handle other Asian territories.
“It’s a funny and touching film set in the make-up room of a porn set and based on director Kei Morikawa’s experiences in the adult film industry,” said Torel.
“Starring a host of real-life porn stars alongside professional and amateur actors, it was really the stand-out film of Yubari and rightly deserved to pick up the Grand Prix.”
Speaking of splitting the international sales with Masuoka, he said: “Actually, we are both...
