Our History

Founded in 2023, I?NY Movie emerged from the creative mind of Yoshi Kitagawa, a seasoned filmmaker and avid supporter of the independent film community. With years of experience both in front and behind the camera, Yoshi recognized the need for a dedicated platform that not only showcases indie films but also serves as a catalyst for discussion, collaboration, and growth within the industry.

Driven by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to elevating the voices of underrepresented artists, Yoshi decided to build the I?NY Movie website as a comprehensive resource and community hub. It is structured to support emerging filmmakers and enrich the audience’s experience with thought-provoking content.
