ABOUT
I am a filmmaker based in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, specializing in documentary, brand, and event films. After a voluntary service in India, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Motion Pictures from the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt and a diploma in Documentary Directing from the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg.
In 2025 I filmed at Expo Osaka, capturing international pavilions and events on-site. Beyond that, I have worked for clients and broadcasters including BBDO, Ruggable, and ARD, alongside my own YouTube channel, Our Traditional Japanese House. My most notable works are the documentaries MASALA CHAI and SPACE CLEANERS.
Since 2024 I have been developing a long-term documentary, FLAVOURS OF DARJEELING, scheduled for completion in 2027.
Available for freelance projects in Japan and internationally. Let's talk.
