MUSASHI WAKAKI is a Japanese Australian director and actor committed to telling stories through open and honest collaboration. With experience across both short and feature-length projects, he focuses on narratives that challenge audiences on emotional and intellectual levels.

For Musashi, cinema is a space to explore vulnerability and accountability, while encouraging new ways of evoking human expression. He believes film should expand how we connect with one another and the world — offering audiences not just stories, but experiences that resonate beyond the screen.
