About Kurt
Hailing from the center of the Pacific, filmmaker Kurt Nishimura made the journey off the tranquil islands of hawaii to pursue his dreams of storytelling on the big and small screen. His quirky tales bring audiences back to their long forgotten childhood days. Kurt currently resides in Portland, Oregon creating music videos for emerging artists. Recently, Kurt has been working for a film house called Laika in Portland and works for the production company Sandy Montana.
Some people take pleasure in leading a normal life but Kurt Nishimura has grown a liking for watching and creating music videos. Kurt recently won The Decemberists green screen challenge. With his eyes on the prize, he continues to trudge towards his music video directing dreams. His more recent video, “Silence” by Olivia Broadfield is now playing in VH1's video rotation and is in the running for the Top 20 Countdown of the Week for May 3rd. As Kurt always says, “Go big or go home, right?”
