Before we get to that though, I would like to introduce myself to you. Throughout my career, I have produced and directed live action films, music videos and commercials, but the heart and soul of my work is with animation. I am also a university professor, where I teach and do research on film and video techniques. I learned the art of animated film direction studying under Hayao Miyazaki of STUDIO GHIBLI and Satoshi Kon of MADHOUSE. From that experience I had hoped to one day bring to life an animated film with my own vision for the world. Not stopping there, I wanted to rethink the whole process of animated film production, so I started jumped in feet first to create my one man original work, COLUBOCCORO. There were many obstacles that had to be overcome for sure, but with a little help from my friends, I managed to get about 22 minutes down on film. COLUBOCCORO won awards at film festivals throughout Japan, and was also screened at the Cannes International Film Festival and many other film festivals around the world..."
