David Sakurai is a Japanese/Danish actor born and raised in Denmark. He moved to Japan and received his theatrical training in Tokyo. Thus began his acting career in Japan, honing his skills in the indie film scene in Tokyo.

After relocating back to Denmark, David proved himself a strong, versatile actor having been cast in supporting roles in drama, comedy, and action.

However, still facing adversity in the Danish industry by being typecast for his “foreign” look, he undertook the heavy task by writing, acting, producing, and directing his own material. Having a desire to not only penetrate the Danish market and industry, David has set his sights on creating work with international appeal.

Ud Af Moerket (Through Darkness)is his first feature film creation that exemplifies this. He will be in front and behind the camera manning the script, cast, and crew as the lead actor and director.
