    Fu Films was setup up by Eiji Iwakawa in the UK in 2010, later officially moving to Japan in 2012. Originally created as a monicker for his freelance editing work, it has since also become a broader umbrella for collaborations with other creatives and companies from around the world. It stands for an appreciation of compelling narratives and emotive storytelling, and striving for perfection.    Working with it's partners in Tokyo, London, Hong Kong and now Yangon, Fu Films has been delivering content for a variety of platforms: from broadcast programmes and TVC's to online agile content.    "I am a bilingual English born Japanese editor/director with over 15 years experience working in broadcast and advertising fields in London and Tokyo. Over the years I have had the chance to experience many facets of the industry - includi ng TVC production and post, live news broadcasts, and fiction filmmaking -working in small and large creative teams and production crews in the process.  My passion for filmmaking started with documentary editing- I get immense satisfaction from the process. It's about creating order from chaos, and finding emotionally engaging narratives or manipulating scenes to draw out the drama and character. I've since branched out into other forms of filmmaking, script writing and direction - having directed and consulted on a number of documentaries, short films and TVCs over the years.  My specialty is narrative work, especially documentaries, reality programs and fiction, but I also believe that everything has (or perhaps should have) a narrative of some sort to flesh out." - Eiji Iwakawa, Director/Editor, Fu Films

    Pioneering Differentiation Strategies with Creative Excellence and Collaborative Spirit

    We aspire to be a partner in contributing to our clients' profit generation while emphasizing creativity, communication, and collaboration. Our goal is to become an organization that not only serves society but also dedicates itself to these values. Among the things we can do to create the highest economic value, we believe that strengthening a company's brand is paramount. However, we sense that many companies underestimate the importance of differentiation strategies, which serve as a crucial lever for a company's competitiveness. As a result, vague and low-competitive 'ordinary yet obscure brands' emerge. We are determined to eliminate this 'ordinary' aspect by focusing on creativity, communication, and partnership. Our aim is to help all companies acquire a brand called competitiveness, enabling them to thrive and prosper.
