As an emerging filmmaker on the cusp of my artistic journey, I aspire to craft intricately
layered narratives that not only challenge deeply entrenched beliefs but also serve as catalysts for
profound introspection and societal transformation. In today's increasingly polarized world,
where the cacophony of divergent voices often drowns out the potential for genuine understanding, I believe in the transcendent power of cinema to bridge divides and illuminate the shared humanity that unites us all.

| Drawing upon respect and empathetic mindedness instilled in
me during my childhood, I endeavor to imbue my characters with human experience, allowing
them to authentically grapple with the complexities of belief, identity, and existential inquiry.
Within the intricate tapestry of my storytelling, themes exploring the intricacies of
societal dynamics, the perpetual tug-of-war between reason and faith, and the eternal struggle of
humanity against the inexorable forces of nature serve as the focus with which I make my films.
| We are incredibly grateful to our donors for their continuous support. Without them, we would not be able to bring to life the films that we are passionate about. Their generosity enables us to make the films that inspire and captivate audiences. |
While these thematic undercurrents may not always be consciously orchestrated, they undeniably
imbue my work with a sense of depth and resonance, inviting audiences to embark on a
transformative journey of self-discovery and empathic exploration. Inspired by trailblazing
visionaries such as Jordan Peele, whose groundbreaking films effortlessly transcend genre
conventions to provoke profound introspection and incite meaningful social discourse, I am
driven by a desire to utilize the medium of film as a potent instrument for societal change and cultural renewal.

As a filmmaker at the beginning of my artistic journey, my goal is to create stories that inspire viewers to imagine a better world, even amidst chaos and difficulty. I aim to develop stories that
challenge long-held beliefs and encourage deep reflection and positive societal change.
Drawing from the respect and empathy taught to me since childhood, I strive to create characters
with genuine human experiences, helping them authentically explore issues of belief, identity,
and existential questions. My stories often focus on societal dynamics, the ongoing tension
between reason and faith, and humanity’s constant battle with the forces of nature. Whether
intentionally or subtly included, these themes add depth and emotional resonance to my work,
inviting audiences to join in a journey of self-discovery and empathy.
Inspired by innovative filmmakers like Jordan Peele, whose work crosses traditional genre
boundaries to spark critical thinking and meaningful conversations, I am passionate about using
film & TV as a tool for cultural renewal and social progress. Although my path to filmmaking
has been unconventional, storytelling has always been central to who I am. Now, equipped with
technical skills learned at the Sidney Poitier New American Film School and driven by a
dedication to creativity, I am prepared to contribute to the next wave of cinematic storytelling.
In today's divided world, where genuine understanding can be overshadowed by conflict, I
strongly believe in cinema’s ability to connect people and highlight our shared humanity.
Through my films, I aim to inspire hope, encourage thoughtful reflection, and motivate viewers
to take positive action.
