Film is home

My work is deeply rooted in curiosity about people - how we think, feel, behave, and believe. I’m fascinated by the stories we tell ourselves and each other, and how those stories shape our identities and relationships. Through film, I explore what it means to be human - often messy, often beautiful.. I try to capture the quiet tensions and raw truths beneath the surface, and don’t shy away from discomfort. I think that’s where the most honest moments live.
