Nexus Studios has signed directing duo Sojiro & Eri, consisting of Sojiro Kamatani and Eri Sawatari, for commercials, branded content and music video worldwide, except for Japan and France. In the latter market, the directorial team is repped by Paris production house Bandits. Nexus adds Sojiro & Eri to its roster as directors spanning moving image, digital, print and interactive projects, VR, 360 storytelling and installations. The duo specializes in crafting surreal and visually rich parallel universes, infusing spots for brands such as PlayStation, Honda and Facebook with bold and imaginative concepts often paired with epic visual effects.  Before their names became synonymous with their commercial work, Kamatani worked in video production in Kyoto and Sawatari studied film at the University of the Arts in London.
