What is Club Activities?
What is a club Activities?
Strategic Partners’ core business is to support corporations, local governments, and other organizations in creating the ideal model of society. On the other hand, those in which Strategic Partners participates as the main body of activities or as a working member are called “projects,” in which we ourselves act and experience as a player who directly contributes to society. As a predecessor to these activities, we have created “club activities” in which members enjoy themselves and start activities in the form of lean startups, accumulating experience in implementing these activities.
Theme
There are three themes in the Strategic Partners project. All projects fall into one of three categories. Based on that theme, we aim to realize a better society by teaching various productions and executions in addition to strategic planning.
1. Problem-solving
We aim to solve problems that someone, big or small, is having trouble with, from small problems related to daily life to big problems in society as a whole, using strategies as a weapon.
2. Sustainable / Social Development
3. Entertainment
Club Introduction
Filmmaking Club
We produce and publish movies as a tool for social change and entertainment. We also aim to improve the production skills of our staff through film production.
NO.1 [Short film] Tatara
The movie “Tatara” is a human drama that depicts the nature of Shimane and the love of father and son, with the motif of tatara iron making (an iron making method that developed from ancient times to the early modern period in Japan).
Directed by Kunio Nozawa of the 2021 INDIE SHORT FEST Grand Prix, who won the Foreign Language Short Film Award at the 2017 Nice International Film Festival. Since this movie also has the theme of SDGs, we aim to show it not only at overseas film festival entries but also at environmental groups and international organizations around the world.

Synopsis: How goldfish were born, for humans to appreciate.
Where is the happiness of such a goldfish?
Koharu travels to Hong Kong to free the trapped goldfish.
Koharu, a 19-year-old woman who is stuck in address, heads to Hong Kong alone.
The purpose is to “liberate” the goldfish captured as a commercial tool.
