robu

Winner of Shortshorts Best Film Award, and invitee to Austin Film Festival, Hollyshorts, Show Me Shorts Film Festival, and Napa Valley International Film Festival, Robu is another brick in Portal A’s foundation to continue to create independent scripted content across platforms.

The story follows Rob (Jharrel Jerome, Moonlight and Central Park 5), a 17-year-old who is on the adventure of a lifetime: a four-day quest to find the second issue of his favorite Japanese comic book that his father left him. His journey introduces him to the odd world of manga, as he meets friends like Yuuki (Kazuki Kitamura, Kill Bill Volume 1 and Raid 2), a local salaryman with a dream of his own. Shortly into his adventure, Rob begins to notice that the world of his manga is coming to life, and that he just might be the main character.
