2017 Short Screenplay Winner
When biracial, futuristic police officer Jay Yoshikawa
went to Japan to pay her respects to her deceased
grandparents, she didn’t intend to bring home the
family’s secret and unleash it on the citizens of San
Francisco. Now, this highly-trained cop must release
her control to a yokai-fighting, nine-tailed fox entity
to become Kitsune Mask and defeat the soul-sucking
ice demon Yuki-Onna (Snow Woman) before she takes
the lives of Jay’s best friend and her love interest.
