I am a Japanese, Korean, and white filmmaker based in Portland, OR. I works as a writer, director, gaffer, director of photography, and production designer. I was born in Colorado, raised in Anchorage, AK where I started making films on a Sony Handicam in the late 1990's. In 2001 I moved to Portland to pursue music and film. In 2016 I founded Desert Island Studios in Portland, a BIPOC owned and operated film studio dedicated to creating space for indie- doc, narrative work, and photography.

PRIVATE CHAT (Short Film)(Director, Cinematographer)

In attempt to up her own cam modeling career, a young woman purchases some one-on-one time with another webcam model. When she decides to reveal her true identity, the two of them have a conversation about intimacy, desire, and which angles best showcase your ass. "Private Chat" is a scintillating window into the voyeuristic world of cam modeling, challenging the preconceived notions and stigma around sex work.
