Tsubasa Matsumoto

Director

Bilingual director based in Tokyo and New York City.
Born and raised in Tokyo, he set out on his own to America to learn English and pursue his dream to become a filmmaker. After
earning a BFA in Film and Television from New York University, 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 commercials, music videos, short films, and documentaries.
His work is narrative driven and his carefully considered shots invites your viewer into the escapism. Clients include VALENTINO,
Hoeggarden, DESCENTE, and Aya Gloomy.
Often acting as his own cinematographer, he directly synthesizes his vision and shooting style. Pushing boundaries, he seeks to
take risks, influence trends, and ultimately create the new classics that will stand as timeless in years to come.
