The Soba Man (1963)
Black and white UCLA student film, preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. A Japanese folktale of the "Soba Man" and a demon without a face blends into the present when Mirico attends a party for her white boyfriend. Japanese-American Mirico is made into an object of fascination to Dom's white friends at a party, unsettling her. She meets Chuck, the host of the party and learns that she resembles a past lover. Mirico shares eerie similarities with the lover and the girl in The "Soba Man" folktale.
