Katsuya Tomita

Born in 1972 and a native of Kofu, Yamanashi prefecture, Katsuya Tomita moved to Tokyo upon graduating from high school to pursue his dream of one day becoming a musician. Throughout his days in Tokyo, he spent his time watching films and began to develop a desire to make films. He went on to earning cash working delivery jobs, and used his earnings to film.


In 2003, he released his first work "Above the Cloud" (8mm), which took him five years to make. The film was awarded the highest prize in the Film School of Tokyo's 2004 film festival, and with the award, Tomita went on to making "Off Highway 20" (16mm), later released in 2007. In this work, Tomita depicts the lives of young men living in Kofu, who, have no choice but to seek for a sense of belonging in the suburb outside of the city.

Around then, "KUZOKU-ku a tribe of film makers" was founded from his surrounding peers. The group aims to seek alternative ways to distribute film in the Japanese film industry. Their new film "SAUDADE" was produced from donations collected from KUZOKU supporters.
