“What a privilege it has been to have these meaningful conversations with you, Tamotsu. And then to watch these ideas come to life through your lens and perspective. It is apparent that you, too, approach your craft with heart and seeking. I've often thought about--as I have often experienced--ways in which limitations (like space or time or material) can make us more intentional about how we approach things with what we have. It fascinates me that you spend one day filming, and yet you capture so much. I am grateful for your heart, your gift, and your work, and am utterly humbled to know you and your work. 🩵”

“Working with Tamotsu was a breeze. I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the filming process. The video editing and transitions were impeccable, and it still blows my mind when I rewatch it. He captured my life in a nutshell and it was an honor to work with him. Tamotsu is humble, kind and will go that extra mile to make everything perfect. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness were key to making an amazing documentary. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have their story told. He will bring your story to life in a meaningful way to others, that will leave a lasting impression and provide inspiration.”
