Whether creating an animated explainer, an interview-based portrait, or a branded documentary series, my work is, first and foremost, driven by my curiosity about people and their stories.
Filmmaking allows me to step into someone's head, listen to their narrative and uncover a new viewpoint of reality.
By doing so, I hope to expand viewer's perspective to understand this perplexing and fascinating world.
