Diploma, a post-apocalyptic zombie drama made through the Filmeisters club, was developed by Yuki Nitta and Jun Sekiya; written, directed and edited by Jun Sekiya, and produced by Matthew Sato. Diploma was awarded a Gold medal and won the Palm d’Or, the festival’s highest honor. Yuki Nitta was nominated for Best Actor, and the film won awards for Best Actress (Hiyori Takashima), Best Camera (Sunbird Tsai), and Best Editing (Jun Sekiya).

Filmeisters wish to offer congratulations and thanks to everyone who played a role in making these films, from supervisors to make-up artists to bare-footed bloody-shirted snarling zombie volunteers. We are now working to arrange a YIS screening of these and other projects the Filmeisters have been working on this year. Stay tuned for details. (Mr. Pitter)
