About Me

My name is WES, I am originally from Southern California now living in Seattle, Washington. I am currently working on a Documentary Film in Mexico titled LAS FAMILIAS EN EL BASURERO. My film company TOKUHARA FILMS is a small independent company with a focus on Humanitarian issues. I believe that using film as the platform to bring awareness to many issues can only expedite the search for solutions. I also believe that a perfect system does indeed exist, it is called respect....it is the umbrella of all things needed to coexist with one another no matter our race, religion or economic status. Not limiting myself to one type of person or one place has allowed me to experience and view matters from many different angles, it has aided me in the way I film a subject or situation.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people that I can draw inspiration from and who can hopefully be inspired by my work as well. People that take a stance for what they believe in, people that are not afraid to express themselves. I want to meet people that want to make a difference to those around them as well as the world they live in. Strong minded people, those that care about the ones that society says we should not care for. I want to meet people who's lives are not controlled by their material possessions. Is this possible in the film industry?...I like to think so! I want to meet ARTIST, MUSICIANS, POETS, PAINTERS, DANCERS, FILMMAKERS, anyone that creates something from an idea and rose to the occasion to turn that idea into a reality. I want to meet honest people, not perfect people.
