About

I’m Brad Watanabe.
Husband, father, filmmaker, and director based in Hawaiʻi.

I run a small studio making story-driven work for brands, nonprofits, and organizations navigating meaningful moments of change.

This site is not a portfolio.

It’s a place to think in public — to document life, work, faith, creativity, and the in-between moments that don’t fit neatly anywhere else.

Some entries will be short.
Some unfinished.
Some deeply personal.

This is an archive first, and a conversation second.

If you’re here, you’re welcome to read along.
