Director Statement

Making movies was my childhood obsession that has never wained and I have devoted my entire life to perfecting the craft. I am a lover of all kinds of cinema, but what I enjoy most is creating genre films with strong emotional undercurrents. I love thrilling audiences, while moving them emotionally at the same time.
