Why subscribe?

Never miss an update. I post 100% of my content here on Substack. Full-length videos, and films made for clients which I do not publish on my Youtube channel. Podcasts, rants, Carmentary, plus the occasional text-based post with some poetic prose. There is going to be a lot going on here as I slowly make the switch from algorithm-based social media to Substack content creation.

A Little History

Along with Client and professional work, Neil created his series of Snowboard documentary films entitled “Car Danchi”  The first episode was released in 2005 and a total of 10 titles were produced over 14 years.  As the video industry evolved and new outlets for creativity and promotion like social media arose, I shifted again to incorporate this new media.  For the last several years, I have focused on creating photo and video content for many brands, cities, and towns that concentrate on tourism and travel.  “Visit Sapporo” YouTube channel video content.  Uchiko Town in Shikoku video and photo production, Rusutsu Resort TV commercials, Social media management for Chalet Ivy Hotel brand, Rusutsu Resort, Niseko Moiwa Resort, and Promotional video production for Tokyu Grand Hirafu Resort, NEC, Sapporo City Ainu promotion, and more.

Besides the video production, my wife Erina and I own and manage a Soft Ice Cream specialty shop called “Locale-JZK”  In the summer season you can find us greeting customers at the location in Jozankei Onsen.  In the winter the shop moves to the top of Sapporo Kokusai Resort, Sapporo's largest ski area.

I will be turning on the paid subscriptions around the end of 2023. Until then lets all build up this community of Japan lovers, snow culture lovers, Hokkaido lovers, music, events, sound systems, food, cars, and opinions.
