Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment
    Short web Series

    I have a youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@StarGazzer-I4CU that I have uploaded 2 of 6 Eposide in this web serious called “The Therapist” Where I am teaching myself how to Act, Direct, Produce, and Especially Edit short films.

    Small Bio:
    Hey, I’m the creator behind Stargazer Studio and BloodLyne Productions.

    It’s my film school. it is my hands-on filmmaking playground — a space where I practice and refine my skills.
    I’m an independent filmmaker and videographer chasing the dream of becoming a director, producer, and editor in the indie film world. Since 2021, I’ve worked on major TV series as both an Office PA and Location PA, learning the industry from the ground up while developing my own creative voice.
    This channel is dedicated to storytelling, filmmaking, and the creative process.
    Right now, I’m creating an original series called The Therapist — completely on my own. No crew. No cast. Just passion, creativity, and the drive to keep making movies no matter the limitations.
    Every project on this channel is part of my journey to grow as a filmmaker and bring meaningful stories to life.

    If you love indie films, filmmaking, creativity, and seeing what can be built from pure determination — you’re in the right place.
