Sagittarius Directors Collection

The kind of person you are shapes the kind of film you make—with Sagittarius directors, this couldn’t be more true. At 19, I watched a film by Emir Kusturica, and it completely changed the way I thought about filmmaking. The first time I attended a film festival, I was “shocked” by the featured director, Terayama Shūji. I stumbled into film school by chance, but it was in a film analysis class that Yasujirō Ozu’s black-and-white depictions of family life stirred memories from my childhood. Later, on my own filmmaking path, I was left speechless by Kim Ki-duk’s rapid production pace and prolific output. Thank goodness for cinema! For a freedom-loving, wildly imaginative Sagittarius like me, filmmaking is how I express the spirit of adventure, passion, and courage that defines who I am.
