I adhere to Kurosawa’s philosophy that to master the director’s chair, one must first master the page, and he continues working toward his goal of becoming a film director in the tradition of Akira Kurosawa.

I am excited to bring my technical training in engineering and storytelling craft to collaborative projects across drama, thriller, history, and experimental formats. I value strong characters, clear visuals, and a disciplined screenwriting process.
