As an integral part of the Japan Film Festival LA design and production team, my work revolved around creating a vibrant and engaging visual experience for attendees, participants, and sponsors.​A significant part of my role involved crafting captivating designs and posters to advertise the event.

My goal was to capture the spirit of the festival and Japan's rich cinematic culture, while ensuring the visuals were eye-catching and spoke to a diverse audience. This required not just expertise in graphic design, but a deep understanding of the essence of the festival and its purpose.

Beyond static design, I worked diligently on assembling videos that showcased the multitude of films competing in the festival. This involved careful selection, editing, and arrangement of clips to convey the breadth and depth of films presented, while maintaining the rhythm and excitement of the event. This video collage served as both an introduction and an enticing invitation to explore the creative expressions of various filmmakers.

​Furthermore, I closely collaborated with the head staff of the festival to ensure smooth operations. Together, we coordinated the numerous moving parts of the festival, making certain that each design element, video, and schedule was flawlessly executed. This task necessitated excellent communication, project management skills, and a problem-solving mindset, as I actively anticipated potential challenges and proposed solutions.

​In summary, my work for the Japan Film Festival LA represents my multi-faceted abilities in design, video editing, and event coordination, underpinned by a strong understanding of audience engagement and an enduring passion for cinematic art forms.
