Profile
For the past decade, I've been helping businesses, brands, artists, and communities tell their stories through photography, video, events, and content creation in Japan.
My work has taken me everywhere from overseas documentaries, tourism campaigns, musical performances, corporate interviews, artisan workshops, and the occasional room full of people obsessing over chess or retro video games.
I founded Koenji Studio as a space where creativity and community can overlap. Part production studio, part event venue, and part playground for interesting ideas.
It’s a place where people can create content, host events, collaborate, experiment, and occasionally get distracted by vintage televisions.
Drop me a line!
I'm James, an American filmmaker, creative producer and event manager based in Tokyo.
Whether you need videos, photos, a full-scale production, a creative space, or just someone to help bring a project to life, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
What I Offer
Through Koenji Studio, I offer a flexible creative space for video and photo shoots, full-scale video productions, streaming, live performances, and community and private events.
Whether you need content created, a unique space to work in, or help bringing an idea to life, I can support projects from concept to completion.
