Directing
I am an independent filmmaker specializing in bold, gritty dramas
and surreal thrillers with a unique visual edge.
I create genre-driven stories that blend visceral emotion with striking,
stylized visuals—often on tight budgets.
From psychological thrillers to dystopian satire, my films
are grounded in character but elevated by hypnotic editing,
VFX artistry, and immersive soundscapes.
My background in editing and visual effects which gives me the tools
to craft cinematic worlds with minimal means—
turning budget limitations into creative strengths.
