About Me

I am a filmmaker, writer, director, and producer passionate about storytelling. Throughout my journey, I've explored a wide range of narratives and documentaries, using the lens of the camera and the written word to craft stories that resonate. I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool for connection, and I am always driven by the idea that every story, no matter how big or small, holds the potential to inspire and provoke thought. Working in the field has given me invaluable hands-on experience, and it's where I truly find my creative flow.

In addition to film and writing, I have a strong affinity for poetry, which allows me to express emotions and thoughts that sometimes cannot be captured with images or dialogue alone. The rhythm and cadence of words are something I hold dear, often bringing me back to the core of why I create in the first place. My creative pursuits extend into installations, where I can physically shape the narrative and create immersive experiences that engage multiple senses.

Performance art, particularly dance, also plays a key role in my artistic journey. The fluidity of dance and the power of human movement offers a unique form of expression that deeply resonates with me. There's something transformative in the way bodies tell stories, and I enjoy exploring the intersection of visual art, movement, and emotion in my work. Whether it's capturing a dancer’s performance or experimenting with the physical space of an installation, performance art has continually inspired me to think outside the box.

At the core, I am driven by a desire to connect with people through art. Whether it’s through the lens of a camera, the written word, or a performance, my goal is to spark thought, evoke emotions, and inspire others to see the world in a new light. Every project I take on is an opportunity to tell a story that might change a perspective, inspire action, or simply bring people together.
