My Take
Makoto Nagahisa is one of those rare creative types who genuinely refuses to be boxed in — screenwriter, film director, video artist, creative director all at once, and honestly that grab-bag of titles is probably the most accurate description you're going to get. Born in Tokyo in 1984, Aoyama Gakuin-educated, he moves fluidly between advertising language and cinematic image-making in a way that feels less like multitasking and more like a single restless brain doing what it actually needs to do. I don't know all his work by heart, but the profile of someone who insists on writing, directing, and art-directing their own universe — rather than handing any piece of it off — is immediately interesting to me. That's not ambition for ambition's sake; that's someone who knows that the idea and the execution are the same thing, and won't let them get separated. Leo energy, for sure.
