About

"I make films to challenge and expand the way we see and understand the world. I’m drawn to outsider characters — those who defy convention and reshape their fields through imagination and impact. I value original forms of expression that are both entertaining and deeply felt. My work is driven by spirit, soul, and flow, and I’m drawn to the uncharted—to stories that reveal hidden layers of meaning and explore the paradoxes of truth."
