My First Pecha Kucha

I had the amazing chance to do a Pecha Kucha presentation in Tokyo. I have been to many and even been a part of a handful of other’s Pecha Kuchas over the years, but had never done one myself. So, I pulled up my creative pants and decided it was time. I spoke about my experiences being a independent film maker and cinematographer in Tokyo over the past decade and shared a handful of stills from my film and photography work. It was such a good experience and you couldn’t ask for a better community here in Tokyo where it all started. If you are interested in going to or doing one, check out more from Pecha Kucha here.
