Kyoko Miyake originally came to the UK to study the history of English witchcraft at the Oxford University. While studying and working for British and Japanese media, she picked up a camera to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a filmmaker and started to make short films on her own. She still intends to remain true to her roots in history – but rather by making films about witchcraft in the future. Several short documentaries she directed have been shown at festivals internationally including Berlin, London and Sydney. “Beyond the Wave” is her first feature-length documentary.
