He co-produced and filmed the Oscar-nominated documentary Black Box Diaries, directed multiple award-winning short films, and recently teamed with Japan’s oldest miniature-driven studio to craft a new immersive feature film. Yuta also founded O1 Films in Tokyo to produce global, action-driven independent films.
