Director Statement

Music is one of my biggest influence’s. As my parents always had the radio playing in the house growing up. In most of my work I focus on realism. As I believe it's one of the strongest aspects when it comes to the art of filmmaking. I enjoy diving into real situations and seeing perspectives through other peoples eyes.
