Tsubasa Matsumoto

Bilingual director based in New York City and Tokyo. Born and raised in Tokyo, he dropped out of high school and set out on his own to America to pursue his aspirations of becoming a director. After earning a BFA in Film and Television from New York University Tisch, he freelanced as a director and DP in NYC. His short "Prelude" was awarded a spot in the coveted Tribeca Film Festival. In 2018 he began picking up work in Tokyo as a director primarily for short films, commercials and music videos. His work is narrative-driven and his carefully considered shots invite the viewer into escapism. He has directed projects for Valentino, Hoeggarden, Uniqlo, Aya Gloomy, Brandon Blackwood etc. Pushing boundaries, he seeks to take risks, influence trends, and ultimately create the new classics that will touch people's hearts even in 100 years.
