Chavo | Film Director / Screenwriter
Born in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan, Chavo is a filmmaker whose work is informed by a multidisciplinary background in photography, manga, and business.
He received the Konica Minolta Photo Premio (2005) as a photographer and the Grand Prize at the Chiba Tetsuya Award (2009) as a manga artist.
Since beginning independent filmmaking in 2023, his works have been selected at Academy Award®-qualifying film festivals including BOGOSHORTS (Colombia), Bengaluru ISFF (India), FICVIÑA / Lebu International Film Festival (Chile), and Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (Japan).
His cinematic style emphasizes silence, negative space, and visual rhythm, exploring human fragility, memory, and the weight of unspoken emotion through spatial composition and physical presence rather than dialogue.
