Greenwich Entertainment has released the first trailer for Jinsei, the debut feature from writer-director Ryuya Suzuki. The film opens in New York on June 5 and expands nationwide on June 12. Suzuki completed the project over eighteen months, handling animation, art direction, cinematography, editing, character design, color design, and music himself. The fully hand-drawn film follows a single protagonist across a hundred years, with each chapter giving him a different name and identity. Rapper Ace Cool voices the character as he moves through life as a J-pop idol, an outcast, a leader, and an oracle. Jinsei premiered at Annecy last year and has since screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival and DOK Leipzig. It also received a Special Jury Prize at the New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival.
