ART LIVES TORIDE Where Art Is Born

Takushi Nishinaka
[STUDIO CROSS]

I usually produce videos on request from companies and individuals. I have loved movies since I was a child and studied film production in college. I then did various jobs, working for a TV station and a drone aerial photography company, and now I work as a freelancer.

I started living in Toride when I got married. Basically, I work as a video editor at home and other places, while going to the field each time there is a shooting. I sometimes fly a drone in my work, so I sometimes practice drone operation, and it is much easier to practice in Toride than in the city center.



Now that I can set my own work schedule, I am able to pick up and drop off my children at daycare when I am settled and am very happy with my quality of life. Compared to when I was a company employee, I spend more time with my children.
I am sure many of you spent time watching movies, anime, and manga when you had time during the Corona pandemic. We may be able to live without art, but I believe it has a great impact on the richness of our hearts and minds.

In this sense, I believe that art and entertainment are important, and I hope that society will become more conducive to those involved in such activities. I myself also want to create images that reach deep into the hearts of the viewers.
I usually have many opportunities to make films outside Toride, so I hope to have more projects in Toride city and its suburbs in the future. And someday, I would like to make a movie in Toride.
