Sasaki’s first documentary movie Fragment came out to the public in 2006 and achieved a long run of three years including overseas screening in the United States and Germany. 2 or 3 Examples About Minorities and Sex (2007) came out in the following year as a part of the omnibus film Hadaka over 8, shown internationally in different locations as a single film. His directed titles include INNERVISION (2013), MINORITIES AND SEX: STRICTLY PERSONAL WAY OF LOVE (2015), and CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF: Recollecting the 10 years of Minori-Majorite Travel (2016), all screened in various locations throughout Japan. Other works as a producer include Resident Evil 5 Behind the Scenes (2009), and Barrier-Free Communication – Do we not have sex or can we not have sex!? (2014) by Fuji Television NONFIX. He was also engaged in the screenplays of GOEMON (2008) directed by Kazuaki Kiriya, and Puzzle (2014) featuring Kaho as the starring actress, and many other films.
Sasaki has had lectures and screenings at University of Southern California, The University of Tokyo, Keio University, and other institutions. He regularly holds talk sessions over films with Makoto Wada, Robert Harris and other panelists.
