If you\\u2019ve seen Chiemi Karasawa\\u2019s award-winning film \\u201cElaine Stritch: Shoot Me,\\u201d you already know that Chiemi is a great storyteller. (If you haven\\u2019t, put it at the top of your streaming queue!) Chiemi\'s story is one filled with magic, mettle and a very healthy dose of hilarity. She landed one amazing job after another upon graduating from college: as script supervisor for lauded directors like Spike Jonze, Jim Jarmusch, Stephen Frears and Martin Scorsese, and then as an independent filmmaker and producer at Isotope Films, the company she founded in 2007. We were delighted by Chiemi\\u2019s \\u201cindustry\\u201d stories, moved by her narration of her family\'s experience in and after the WW II Japanese American internment camps, and spellbound by her brief encounter with on-line dating, leading to her first marriage at 50 this past June. Chiemi likens herself to a \\u201cpioneer woman\\u201d in how she makes her way through life without a roadmap, on her own terms and relying on the cycle of giving with generosity and receiving with deep gratitude that fuels \\u201csacred reciprocity.
