Tokyo Cowboy at Cameo Cinema
Tokyo Cowboy
“Tokyo Cowboy” traces the journey of Hideki Sakai (Arata Iura), a Japanese businessman sent by his superiors to a cattle ranch in Montana. Although owned by the Japanese company that he works for, the ranch is underperforming and on the brink of being shut down and sold. Sakai has the arduous task of convincing the ranch boss (Robin Weigert) and her ranch hands to transition the ranch to a strictly Japanese cow/wagyu beef ranch.
When he arrives in rural Montana, Sakai quickly realizes that he is absolutely ill-suited (literally and figuratively) for the job. He is given a chaperone, a Mexican ranch hand named Javi (Goya Robles), who reluctantly shows him the ropes on the ranch. What follows is the remarkable journey of an unremarkable company suit who finds himself at a crucial crossroads in life and career, a crossroads that leads to a heartrending self-discovery of belonging and community in the unlikeliest of places — Montana’s Big Sky Country.
“Tokyo Cowboy” has already racked up a slew of awards, including Best Narrative Feature at the Vermont Film & Folklore Festival, Tallgrass Film Festival, Sedona International Film Festival and San Luis Obispo International Film Festival, as well as Best Cinematography and Best Editing at the Zion Indie Film Festival. It also has had the honor of being the Closing Night Film at the Osaka Asian Film Festival.
PANEVINO will be creating culinary treats inspired by the film. Wine, beer and concession drinks are available for purchase.
CinemaBites supports the St. Helena Farmers' Market. Tickets $35 inclusive of film and 'bites.'
