Filmmaker Statement

The first film I made was for a calculus project in high school and ever since then I was hooked. I love the process of combining so many things into one piece of work - visuals, music and sounds, graphics, emotions, people, journeys. Being able to transform all of these elements into a cohesive story that others can understand and connect with emotionally is a very cool thing. There are endless possibilities and it's fun to push myself to learn new ways of communicating these ideas with others.
