The first offering of his film house Production 27 Studios{{Cite web|url=https://production27studios.com|title=Home|website=Productions 27 Studios}} was the financing, packaging and distribution of manga based Cutie Honey (film) (キューティーハニー, Kyūtī Hanī){{Cite web |title=Cutie Honey |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0409860/?ref_=bo_rl_ti#:~:text=Domestic%20(%E2%80%93),$453,906 |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=Box Office Mojo}} transitioning the campy, colorful and over-the-top kitch present in the original animated series but only making a worldwide box office of $453,906.

Following this was the multi award winning adaption of the Anna Seghers Holocaust era novel and collaborating with acclaimed director Christian Petzhold bringing it to vibrant life and building on a tale of love in the face-of national, political and cultural instability.{{Cite AV media |url=https://mubi.com/en/us/films/transit-2018 |title=Transit (2018) {{!}} MUBI |language=en |access-date=2024-12-12 |via=mubi.com}}
