Mother Recipe (2026)

XANTO Studios serving as the official production and DI Studio for the film.

For those unfamiliar, DI (Digital Intermediate) is the process of finalizing the film’s visuals after editing—adjusting color, contrast, brightness, and overall tone to create a consistent cinematic look across every scene. As part of this, I handled professional color grading to bring out the director’s vision, developed a custom LUT in pre-production, and worked on set as a colorist, helping the team and director visualize the intended look during shooting.

Highlights from this journey:

• Managed lighting and camera setups to ensure a cinematic, consistent visual tone.
• Delivered DI and color grading to elevate the film’s final visuals.
• Oversaw production as Co-Producer, fostering a collaborative and efficient set environment.
• Secured Cine Equipment as an official sponsor for the film.
• Built strong relationships with cast, crew, and local partners to improve workflow and morale.

This experience pushed me to combine empathy, leadership, creative problem-solving, and technical skills all at once—from scripting to shooting to the finishing touches in post.

A huge thank you to Izumo Kawabe and the entire crew—this film wouldn’t have been possible without such a dedicated team!
