Running Against Time is a short documentary by filmmaker Alex Lockett, released and contextualised as an MTG Original through MIND THE GAP. The film follows Shimei Nakaoji, an 87 year old runner living in Okinawa, Japan, whose daily practice of movement has become both a philosophy and a refusal to disengage from life. Rather than originating the film’s production, MTG’s role was to identify, contextualise, and author its cultural placement. The work was reframed within MTG’s Age Appropriate series and positioned as a meditation on ageing, vitality, and momentum.
