Cannes Young Director Award winner Hoku Uchiyama’s directing work has garnered tens of millions of online views and has been screened in festivals in the US, Europe and Asia. The work has also been featured at the LA County Museum of Art and in a series produced by the Modern Art museum Centre Pompidou of Paris.
He and his sometimes directing partner, Adam Bolt, have made a name crafting fun, technical commercials under the moniker “Hoku & Adam.” Their clients include Starbucks, Google and FedEx. They’ve also created award winning spots for National Geographic, Wilkinson Sword (by animating facial hair), and YouTube (using 18 styles of animation in one film).
Their animated music video for Katy Perry’s “Harleys in Hawai’i” won the Webby People’s Voice Award for Best Music Video. Hoku also directed the documentary “Upaj: Improvise” which was broadcast nationally in the US on PBS World.
