1960年生まれ。漫画家。大長編作品ＰＡＬＭを1983年より新書館Wings誌上で連載、ストーリーテラーとして知られている。本作はストーリーとシナリオ、プロデューサーとしてスタートしたが、監督兼カメラマン兼主役のコンプライアンス違反による解任後、急遽役者とメイク以外の全てのポジションを受け継ぐ。 映画制作が元々の夢ではあったが(当時それが非現実的で漫画家になった)、全くの素人だったためYouTubeで逐一学びながら撮影・編集を行う。現場では音声、ライトやインテリアセッティングも自ら行うため、ダイレクションはシナリオとストーリーボードで毎回事前に行われた。 高齢と持病の神経機能不全のため脆弱で、カメラのピントが合ってるかどうかも確認困難、機材の組み立てもおぼつかず、特に撮影開始直後は関係者を不安に陥れたが、三主役とメイクアップ・スーパーバイザーから成るコアメンバーと参加者の協力、また完結寸前の本業の漫画連載も出版社から長期休載の理解を得て、撮影編集共少しずつ進行、制作期間2年余り(インディペンデント映画の場合通常最長半年と言われる)をかけて本作を完成した。
