In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, Genki Kawamura, director of EXIT 8, discusses the challenges of bringing a unique video game to the big screen and how the film intentionally “blurs the lines” between reality and choice. He reflects on the shifting perspectives, the weight of character decisions, and the moral uncertainty that drives the story. Kawamura also shares how each character “levels up,” how anomalies were determined, and why the film is more than just a typical video game adaptation.EXIT 8 is available in theatres on Friday, April 10th, 2026.
