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.
Filmmaking allows me to tell stories through a powerful blend of visuals, sound, and emotion, bringing concepts to life in a way that resonates deeply with an audience. As a creative, it expands my ability to craft compelling narratives across mediums, making my work more dynamic and impactful. Documentary is the mode I tend to work in as it explores the human story in many possible ways.
