Director Biography - Masayuki Kuramoto

Born in Fukuoka, Japan in 1977. Studied spatial design at Musashino Art University. In 2006, I made my directorial debut with "Revenge and I Dance," a segment of the omnibus film "893239" (Yakuza 23 Wards). Selected for official selection and screened at international film festivals in Japan, Korea, Canada, and Germany.

From 2023 to 2025, my first feature film, "ORB," won numerous awards, including top prizes at international film festivals in Japan, India, Thailand, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia and Sweden. It has currently won 20 awards both domestically and internationally.
