About

I’m a filmmaker and storyteller with a passion for bringing ideas to life on screen. As a director and producer, I create intimate, character-driven shorts that resonate at festivals and with audiences. My work blends documentary insight with narrative flair, and I thrive collaborating with teams to craft visuals from concept to screen.

I’m based in the indie film scene, familiar with festival circuits and social media storytelling, and I love exploring new formats and platforms to reach wider audiences.
