Approach
& Expertise

With a distinctive approach grounded in creativity and cultural insight, our Tokyo-based boutique provides comprehensive production and post-production services tailored to international clients.

We specialize in the development of original cinematic works and in aiding Western productions wishing to film in Japan. From concept to final cut, we navigate the nuances of local culture and logistics to provide a smooth and realistic production experience.

Production

With hands-on experience in creating documentaries, fiction, and content for clients like TBS, JNTO, Jack Wolfskin, and others, we are equipped technically and artistically to support your production in a variety of ways.

Whether you need b-roll, interviews, or a full production —from script to final delivery— our goal is to guide you through every step of the process. We collaborate closely with producers and directors to bring their stories and vision to life, reaching both global and domestic audiences.

Post Production

Our team brings extensive post-production experience, including editing, color grading, and sound design to the table. Whether it’s films, documentaries, or TV and Netflix series, we have the skills to analyze and provide the best workflow for your project, from ingest to final delivery.

Our technical knowledge enhances our ability to creatively assemble and refine narrative structures and apply aesthetic color treatments to elevate visual storytelling.

International Support

Focusing on documentaries, we assist international productions in Japan. We can source interviewees on your subject and provide full translations, as well as film the actual interview as needed. You can provide your script, or we can collaborate with you to develop relevant questions.

From equipment rental, casting, location scouting, bookings, permits, and more, our Bilingual non-Japanese and Japanese professionals will assist your way through shooting in Japan.

Photography

From the remote warm islands of Okinawa to the coldest landscapes of Hokkaido, our talented team will craft stunning, custom imagery tailored to your project. We help bring your vision to life with a personal approach, ensuring that it reflects your unique ideas.
