“Japan took me by surprise, and has become a story that drew me in and immersed me into culture, community and healing in a way I wasn’t looking for. It held a mirror in front of me and asked me to heal along side the development of this episode and I hope we deliver a story that touches audiences as deeply as this journey has touched us.

A Study On Beauty: Onsen, is our Chapter two and an invitation into a different perspectives that celebrate the importance of culture, ritual and connection.

I am beyond proud of as he not only directed but shot nearly all of this film himself. The composition, sincerity and heart he captures moves me every time I review footage and truly leads the depth of the narrative he entrusts me with. This has been one of my favorite projects to watch him as an artist and director. It has been an absolute honor to witness his craft and growth and to work beside him - I can’t wait to share this with you all.”

“In late 2022, we set out with the idea of making a short proof-of-concept for a documentary series, with our first stop in the iconic South of France. We didn’t have much of a plan, or even full funding, but the timing felt right to just go and figure it out along the way.

Fast forward to 2026, we’re excited and proud to share a short preview of the project that grew far beyond our wildest expectations. Immense thanks to everyone who’s been supporting us since way back at the start and the many new friends we’ve made along the way.

We have a bit more work to do to in 2026, but we’re very proud and excited to share this beautiful project as soon as it’s ready.” - Alan Dennis, Director of A Study On Beauty
