ten-ten Film & Media

ABOUT

A company that aims to make the world a little more interesting and enriching through video and communication.

Based on the idea that life is not a simple beginning, development, turn, and conclusion, but rather a continuous series of “turns,” our company name is derived from two single-stroke kanji characters, “,” which represent a flame or lamp.

We aspire to be a company that acts as a “crossroads,” connecting dots between video and culture, people and people.

Documentaries, dramas, TV, movies, web, real life, Japan, Asia, the world…

Transcending genres, media, and borders, we create new forms of expression with unique planning and imagination.
