Local Production Support for International Projects
Dn Casting (runAway Inc.) provides production support for international brands, agencies, broadcasters, and content creators working across Japan.
Producing content in Japan is incredibly rewarding, but navigating a different language, culture, and production environment often presents challenges for overseas teams.
That's where we come in. We combine local knowledge, bilingual communication, and international production experience to help overseas clients work confidently in Japan, providing practical support and guidance from planning through to delivery.
We pride ourselves on finding solutions, overcoming challenges, and getting the job done. Whether sourcing talent, coordinating logistics, securing locations, or managing local production requirements, we provide a single point of contact for overseas clients, helping projects move forward smoothly and efficiently. We support both still photography and video productions, ranging from small content shoots to large-scale international campaigns filmed across Japan.

Why Work with Us
We understand both international expectations and Japanese business practices.
Many overseas clients require a partner who can communicate clearly in English while coordinating effectively with Japanese talent, suppliers, locations, and production teams.
Our experience in production support, casting, and influencer campaigns allows us to provide practical solutions while helping projects run smoothly on the ground.
Production Experience
Over the years, runAway Inc. and Dn Casting have supported a wide variety of productions ranging from small independent campaigns to large-scale international projects requiring casting, coordination, logistics, and local production support across Japan.
International Commercial Production
For one global finance campaign, we provided complete production and casting support for a video and photography project in Tokyo.
The project involved casting 10 talents, sourcing crew, locations, props, wardrobe, permits, and production logistics, while acting as the primary point of contact between overseas stakeholders and Japanese suppliers. By providing both casting and production support through a single point of contact, we helped simplify the process for the client while ensuring seamless coordination between international and Japanese teams.
Photography Localization for Global Brands
We have supported numerous international brands localizing global marketing campaigns for the Japanese market.
These projects often involve casting Japanese models and families, sourcing locations, coordinating photographers and crew, and producing photography assets tailored specifically for Japanese audiences. By combining casting expertise with local production support, we help overseas clients create authentic and culturally relevant content without the complexity of managing multiple suppliers.
Broadcast & Long-Form Content Production
Our team developed and produced an original travel television series that was broadcast internationally on NHK World and domestically through J Sports.
The project involved planning, logistics, filming, talent coordination, location management, and post-production across multiple locations in Japan, demonstrating our ability to manage complex productions from concept through to final delivery.
Nationwide Tourism & Destination Campaigns
We have also supported tourism and destination marketing productions filmed across Japan, coordinating talent, locations, logistics, and local production requirements across multiple regions.
These projects often require fast turnaround times, strong local knowledge, and smooth communication between international stakeholders and Japanese partners.
Because every production is different, our approach is always flexible and adapted to the creative, logistical, and cultural requirements of each project. Whether clients require complete production support or assistance with specific aspects of a project, we help bridge the gap between international expectations and local execution in Japan.
