About Me

I am a filmmaker and editor whose work is rooted in original narrative storytelling. I’m drawn to the process of shaping story—whether from a blank page, a scripted scene, or hours of real-world footage—finding clarity, structure, and emotional truth through careful craft.


My work spans narrative and documentary forms, often living at the intersection of the two, where storytelling is both designed and discovered. I aim to create films that feel intentional, restrained, and lasting—stories that stay with the viewer long after the credits roll.
