~Bio~

Saoko was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. When she was 10 years old, she was determined to be an actress with some guidance from her relatives and then she was in a feature film after a year. During her early teen years she started to learn dancing, and singing, and also she went to theatre and dance performances almost every week and these experiences influenced her a lot. When she visited New York for the first time, Broadway attracted her very much, and she decided to come back to NY someday to be on Broadway.

After she graduated Japan University Collage, majoring in Drama, she started to perform in Tokyo Disneyland and continued her studies. Then finally she moved in NY.
She has studied acting, singing, and dancing at HB studio, Singers Forum and more, and now she works in theatre, film, and print professionally in the States. She has just finished photo shooting for Education Guide of Matrix Socolor Hair Color (L'Oreal USA) and music video for Mc Frontalot.

Our new sitcom, GIVE US GREEN CARDS is produced by SadKidsProductions .

SadKidsproductions was established in 2006 in NYC, technically...in New Jersey, but let's say it was in NYC. Since then, we have filmed several shows and performed in comedy clubs in NYC.
I always have this idea that we should shoot a sitcom based on my dear best friend, Clara Campi's life. After 4 years, it finally has come true!
Here is the article which explains how we named our productions.

Shooting was just finished by incredibly talented DP Laura, director Evelyn, amazing actors and my assistant, Matt.
I would love to thank you all once again.

Love,
Naomi
