I believe film begins and ends with the art of storytelling. Through film, fiction and documentary, I continue to explore visual motifs and patterns that I've observed in life. Film should be realistic yet possess an essential mystery, in which characters mirror and speak to the audience while creating a new world—a life in itself.
