CLIENTS & PARTNERS
CONCEPT
Fate, framed.縁を、映像に。
“Fatum” is Latin for fate. The people and landscapes you meet on the road, the stories rooted in a place, the spirit Japan has carried for generations — encounters that feel like chance. Our work is to capture them in film and carry them to the world.
01 — BRIDGE
Connecting Japan and the world
Born in Hiroshima and raised partly in Hawaii, our founder makes films that stand between languages and cultures — bringing Japan to the world, and the world to Japan.
02 — ON LOCATION
Bringing the air of the place home
Shoots in nine countries and regions and across Japan. One team directs, shoots and edits, so the feel of the location carries through to the final cut.
03 — ROOTS
Passing stories forward
Shrines and temples, history, the people who keep traditions alive — told today through commercials, YouTube and vertical social video.
What we do
- Location shoots in Japan and abroad — Hawaii, California, Spain, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and across Japan, from scouting to the final cut.
