Artist Statement:

As a filmmaker, I strive to create stories that evoke genuine emotions in people. Fear, intrigue, and anticipation are emotions that have always fascinated me, as I’ve experienced them deeply as part of the audience. My goal is to captivate viewers, drawing them in with stories that spark anticipation and emotions we don't encounter every day. I aim to craft worlds and characters that leave a lasting impact, while also telling universal stories that shed light on important societal issues.
