If you are interested in my portfolio, Please send me a message. I will send the password ASAP. I worked for a Japanese TV programme production company for four years. For the first three years, as an assistant director (AD), I was in charge of research (preliminary interviews), obtaining filming permission for locations, preparing for filming by arranging accommodation, transport and meals, attending to the actors during filming, responding flexibly to the site to ensure filming went smoothly, and assisting with editing and delivering the programme after filming was complete. I gained a series of experiences from programme production preparation to delivery to the TV station. 　I worked as an AD for NHK BS Premium's "Kirari! En Tabi" and the NHK BS Premium special "Heisei Manyoshu" in my first year. In 'Heisei Manyoshu', I was 1st AD for the third of the four specials, working in pairs with the director to create a 90-minute programme. In my second year, I made my debut as a director on the TV Asahi mini-programme 'Mirai Heritage' while in charge of NHK BS Premium's 'Charidar'. In the third year, amidst the Corona disaster, I was VTR editorial director for 'Charidar' and was in charge of actor handling as assistant director and extra in the drama 'Edogawa Rampo Short Story'. 　In my fourth year, I participated as a director in the launch of TV Asahi's mini-programme 'The Challenge of the Twenty'. As ADs and APs are not assigned to mini-programmes, I produced more than 20 productions in one year as a director, while also taking care of AD duties, post-production communication, delivery work and other duties handled by the APs.

It started with editing- I love it! on virtually every level, whether it's a broadcast program or an independent short, I get immense satisfaction from the process. It's about creating order from chaos, and finding emotionally engaging narratives within sometimes seemingly disparate raw content, or crafting scenes to draw out the drama and character. Now I've branched out into creative and operational management both in production and post production - with the ability to deliver high quality under all kinds of difficult circumstances. My clients have included advertising agencies such as Wieden Kennedy, BBH, M&C Saatchi, streamers such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and DAZN, but I also don't shy away from more modest projects that are about creating emotionally engaging, sincere content.
