About the IWOCSF

Shimako Sato (born 1964) is a Japanese film and videogame director and screenwriter.

Filmography

Notes

She made Eko Eko Azaraku because she wanted to do a movie about magic, and she made the girl in it call herself a wizard instead of a witch because of the saying in Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series about women not being able to be wizards.
