Junta Yamaguchi was born in 1987 and studied management at Kindai University. In 2005 he joined Kyoto-based theater troupe Europe Kikaku as director, editor, and DVD producer. Apart from his many theater productions, he also directed and shot many short features, TV dramas, music videos as well as advertisements. Together with Europe Kikaku he made his feature debut “Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes”, which was screened at Fantasia Film Festival and Nippon Connection 2021, among others, and, due to its low-budget nature, has been compared to “One Cut of the Dead”.
