We look to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a library of the most important creative forces in film history, but one of the greatest and most influential screenwriters of all time never gotten so much as a nomination. Shinobu Hashimoto spent decades crafting some of the most innovative scripts to ever translate to cinema, claiming a celebrity and influence that extended far beyond his native Japan. Even in the earliest days of his career in the 1950s, Hashimoto established himself as both a bright light of imagination and a prolific workhorse. He began collaborating at this time with likewise legendary director Akira Kurosawa, churning out classics including "Rashomon" (1950), "Ikiru" (1952), and "Seven Samurai" (1954), among others.
