About me

I am a filmmaker director & editor based in Tokyo, Japan. I specialize in creating documentary-style videos, as well as unique music videos.

I have worked with musicians, master sake brewers, VR engineers, and creative agencies to create work that reveals something special about Japan. I work with a compact network of like-minded friends and colleagues to create projects with love and great attention to detail.

“I think people always connect with authenticity. That's why I put so much time into researching and understanding a project. Combine that with a passionate team and the project resonates so much more with people.”
