Kiku Ohe is an award winning director and filmmaker working across a wide range of innovative film, commercial and narrative based projects.
Ohe’s work is internationally known for his sophisticated aesthetic choices and his unique way of seeing the world. Cinematically, Kiku often explores the line between the everyday and surreal and has a unique ability to subtly reveal a deeper, almost sub-conscious thread within the narratives he crafts. However, always at the heart of his work is an authenticity and a genuine human connection with whatever subject matter he is working with.
His work has been recognised by a variety of top international commercial awards, including the Cannes YDA. Kiku has directed effective and award winning campaigns for clients such as Merrell, Anchor, House of Travel, Tiger, Woolworths and Nokia to name a few. He has also collaborated on art-based projects with artists such as Daft Punk, Soulwax and Angus & Julia Stone.
2017 also saw Kiku release his debut feature film The Lines. Shot across the US over 30 days the immersive film follows the story of two actors who escape LA for the desert in search of a deeper truth. The Lines is currently on the festival circuit and was awarded Best Narrative Feature Film at New York Film Week.
