“You really are a long way from home, aren’t ya?” Purdie Distr. has debuted the official US trailer for an indie drama titled Tokyo Cowboy, from filmmaker Marc Marriott making his feature directorial debut. This premiered last year at the 2023 Tallgrass Film Festival, where it won Best Narrative Feature, and it also played at the Boston, Sedona, Newport Beach, and Heartland Film Festivals. A Japanese businessman goes on an unwitting journey of self-discovery when he takes a company trip from Tokyo all the way out to a Montana cattle ranch. When his Hardee’s-burger-loving Japanese Wagyu-beef expert fails him, he is poised to misfire magnificently, unless he can figure out his own issues. “Now unsettled and off the grid in an alien culture, Hideki recalibrates his values and his life goals. Director Marc Marriott and cinematographer Oscar Ignacio Jiménez create a Big Sky setting that could reset any of us in need of self-discovery.” Starring Arata Iura as Hideki, with Ayako Fujitani, Goya Robles, Robin Weigert, & Jun Kunimura.
