An interview with Mika Sasaki, director at WHOAREYOU, has been featured in shots magazine, a global media outlet specializing in the advertising and creative industries.
She was the youngest finalist selected for the “Fabulous Five” competition at ADFEST 2025, one of the largest advertising festivals in Asia. Her directorial work “IM PERFECTION” had its world premiere at the festival held this March in Pattaya, Thailand, where it received the Commendation (Top Award).
In the interview, she shares insights into “IM PERFECTION”, including the inspiration behind the film, her approach to casting, performance direction, and visual storytelling. She also reflects on the creative journey and key realizations she gained through the project. Sasaki emphasizes the message of her work—that there is value in imperfection, and that embracing our “flaws” as individuality can lead to true self-acceptance.
