About Me

Director | DP | Visual Storyteller
Based in Kyoto, Japan

I'm Alan Algee, a filmmaker, director, and cinematographer (DP) based in Kyoto. Originally from Los Angeles, I’ve spent over a decade in Japan, creating emotionally grounded visual stories that bridge cultures and connect with audiences around the world.

Whether I’m directing or shooting, I approach each project with a unified creative vision — shaping imagery that captures the soul of a moment. My work spans branded content, fashion films, short narratives, music videos, and documentaries, often blending cinematic technique with real human presence.

My Creative Philosophy

I believe in storytelling that breathes — where stillness, sound, and atmosphere speak just as powerfully as action or dialogue. Influenced by Japanese aesthetics and poetic visual traditions, my process is rooted in restraint, rhythm, and emotional truth.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to quickly problem-solve and adapt to the needs and ideas of the client. Whether I’m working through a creative challenge or pivoting on set, I stay calm, flexible, and solutions-focused.

As a director and DP, I lead with inspiration and clarity — helping teams feel confident, connected, and creatively engaged. I pride myself on bringing out the best in crew and talent alike, creating a space where collaboration flows and everyone feels part of the vision.
