director

Hiroshi Okuyama, born in 1996 in Tokyo (Japan), made his debut film ‘Jesus’ in 2018. In reviews for ‘Jesus’, critics noted the influences of Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda. Okuyama later collaborated with Kore-eda by directing episodes of his Netflix series ‘The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House’. ‘My Sunshine’ (2024) is the second feature film by the (only) 29-year-old director.
