Director Biography - SHOTA KAMITANI

I was born on August 7, 2001. My first experience in film production was during high school, when a friend and I created a movie for the cultural festival. Since then, I've been captivated by the allure of filmmaking and have continued this pursuit up to the present. Currently enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tokyo, I took a one-year break during my third year to attend a specialized film school. I have a strong interest in fantasy films, and my favorite directors include Stanley Kubrick, Guillermo del Toro, and Tim Burton.
