About

I am a freelance filmmaker based in Tokyo, Japan. In 2013, a summer program at UCLA sparked my love for filmmaking. In 2015, I relocated to New York and successfully completed my major in Film B.F.A. at State University of New York, Purchase College, graduating in 2020. After returning to Japan, I joined a production company before embracing the freelance journey in 2021. The video, under my direction in both filming and editing, secured a TikTok award among 246 submissions for the "CraftBoss Milk Tea Contest" on TikTok in Japan. Recently, the documentary TV show I edited, titled "MIRADOR," aired on Japanese national broadcasting network called NHK. "MIRADOR" recently won an award for ABU (Asia pacific broadcasting union) for entertainment category. While primarily focused on editing, I also take on shooting roles. I've worked my editing and/or shooting for a range of clients, including Audi, Nikon, BBC StoryWorks, NHK, Toray, Annapurna Interactive, Japan Post, and more.
