Sawyer Hartman is somewhat of a "Renaissance man" on YouTube. Among his talents, he vlogs, he acts, and he directs his own short films. Hartman's latest moviemaking experiment is Welcome To Tokyo, an 11-minute video about a man living in Japan who is trying to evade authorities. Welcome To Tokyo stars YouTuber Vincent Cyr as its protagonist, who believes he is being followed after committing a theft. Other YouTubers, such as Arika Sato and The Fu, also make appearances.
