[edit] Biography

He was a model and an actor in Osaka until he was cast in Tsukamoto’s [Bullet Ballet] at 17 years of age. When he moved to Tokyo to do Shinya Tsukamoto’s [Bullet Ballet] it left such an impact on him that he decided to stay in Tokyo and make his own film. Being a first time director with a very limited budget, he did most of work in front of and behind the camera himself, including acting in the lead role, Akira. The film reflects some of his own teenage experiences around excessive violence, and it took over three years to complete. He was thrilled when the distribution company THERE’S ENTERPRISE, who distributed Tsukamo’s movie [Bullet Ballet], decided to distribute Tsujioka’s movie [Lost By Dead] . By 2006, he directed his second feature, [Divide], which was successfully shown at many international film festivals around the world, including the Toronto ReelHeART International Film Festival , where it won a [Vest Director award]. Masato Tsujioka is an actor & model with a elegantstyle and unique face.
