Writer, producer, and director Hikari joins Ronny Chieng to discuss her new movie, “Rental Family.” The award-winning filmmaker talks about discovering her love for American media while growing up in Japan, moving to the United States to follow her dreams, and what inspired her to make this film, which follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) living in Tokyo who struggles to find purpose until a Japanese “rental family” agency hires him to play stand-in roles for strangers. She offers a peek into how this business is used in Japan to combat the loneliness epidemic and what it was like directing one of her childhood acting heroes, Akira Emoto. #DailyShow #Hikari #RentalFamily #RonnyChieng Subscribe to The Daily Show: youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The ...
