Director Statement

As a emerging film maker, I draw inspiration from current affairs and news reports. I strive to showcase the discomfort and challenges of our daily lives, daring to explore the side of life often overlooked by modern cinema, which tends to focus on beauty and positivity. I intend to delve into these darker themes, offering a raw and unflinching portrayal that pushes the audience to confront and reflect on the complexities of human experience. I want them not just to watch passively but sit down, watch, and deeply contemplate the issues we often see in the news but avoid discussing with friends and family.
