My First Pecha Kucha

I had the amazing chance to do a Pecha Kucha presentation in Tokyo. I have been to many and even been a part of a handful of other’s Pecha Kuchas over the years, but had never done one myself. So, I pulled up my creative pants and decided it was time. I spoke about my experiences being a independent film maker and cinematographer in Tokyo over the past decade and shared a handful of stills from my film and photography work. It was such a good experience and you couldn’t ask for a better community here in Tokyo where it all started. If you are interested in going to or doing one, check out more from Pecha Kucha here.

It has been a quite a tremendous honor to have my first feature film “The Last Library” as Director of Photography take home a handful of awards during it’s festival run. But, I’m most proud of this one. It was such a great learning experience and I loved shooting it on anamorphic glass. I think it really brought the world and vision of the director to life. Cheers to the team for making a great film and I was so happy to be a part of it.
