As a passionate screenwriter with a deep interest in mythology, archetypes, and human psychology—particularly inspired by Jungian ideas—I bring both emotional depth and narrative precision to my work. My debut short film "3,400 Grams" explored bodily autonomy and unconscious behavioral patterns, earning international recognition and awards. Currently, I am developing my second project—a symbolic and poetic narrative based on archetypal journeys and inner transformation, blending myth with personal truth. With years of independent screenwriting and directing experience, I have a strong command of emotional storytelling, symbolism, and cross-genre structures. My background in literature and script development enables me to dive deep into spiritual, introspective themes and translate them into cinematic form with nuance and sensitivity.
