Biography
Devan Yukio Fujinaka was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. In the late 2010s he became heavily involved in the internet art scene, collaborating with many members of the community to create stunning visuals for musicians such as ICYTWAT, Otuyyuto, A$AP Mob, and more. In 2020, he wrote, edited, directed, and produced his debut short picture Hitman with a budget of just $2000, winning Jury Prize at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021. He spent one semester at Azusa Pacific University Cinematic Arts and dropped out in the winter of 2021 to start working on his first large-budget experimental short film, Sunset on 44. The picture was completed in 2023 and won Honorable Mention for Best Short Film at the Hawai'i International Film Festival. Fujinaka is also known for his highly conceptual art, with his paintings and works being displayed in galleries of downtown Honolulu and Los Angeles County.
