Things I also do: filmmaking
Filmmaking
In my free time, I am also an amateur filmmaker exploring visual storytelling through short films, experimental videos, and collaborative projects. I enjoy trying different genres, and using film as a way to understand people, places, and ideas more deeply.
Simple Tools, Creative Shots
I like using the lightest toolkit to create innovative shots and playful camera movements, focusing more on creativity and storytelling than on having the most advanced gear.
Behind the Scenes
I love collaborating and having fun on set with my crew, keeping the energy light and in harmony so everyone can do their best work.
