I believe video is one of the most impactful ways to tell a story. Below are some self-initiated projects from documentaries to music videos.
Film has always been a piece of my creative heart. I looked up to many film directors who took the boundaries of the medium and pushed them forward. My love for documentary filmmaking has pushed me to pursue creating a body of work that has shaped me into the director I am today. All shot on my mirrorless camera and edited on Premier Pro. I love to create and learn as I go. My drive and passion have not stopped me from creating something I want. Ideating in the film space is my bread and butter.
