Andrei Tarkovsky once said: - "There are two kinds of filmmakers - those who record reality and those who create their own". I definitely belong to the second kind because I'm insanely creative and inventive both musically and visually.
Of course I'm a musician first, but I believe that filmmaking helps me express my vision to the fullest extent possible because Cinema embodies all kinds of arts and that's why I love it.
