My Story
From a young age, I was that kid, always running around with a video camera in hand, capturing anything and everything that caught my eye. I owe much of that passion to my father and grandfather, who instilled in me the dream of telling and creating stories. Our weekends were often spent at the movies or on lazy Saturday afternoons binging the classics—sometimes at an age where I probably shouldn't have been watching them.
But those experiences shaped my love for storytelling, fueling a desire to create films that transport you to different worlds. Whether it’s a world filled with grief, love, dreams, or laughter, and regardless of how much truth or fiction it holds, for me, it's always been about one thing: telling stories that resonate, that make you feel something deeply, and allow you to escape, even if just for a moment.
