With a total of 99 festival awards, my work spans powerful, thought-provoking stories that resonate across cultures and generations.
60 awards for my acclaimed 'Trilogy': For The Freedom, Between Life And Death, and Trail Of Tears — a modern-day Western exploring resilience, justice, and identity through a bold cinematic lens.
33 for 'The Secret Codex', co-written with Hollywood veteran Kevin Pike (Jaws, Back to the Future, Fight Club) — a gripping thriller blending mythology, mystery, and ancient secrets.
6 awards for 'Angelique', a deeply personal and poetic comedy exploring love, loss, and redemption with heart and humor.
Each project is a deep dive into the human experience — layered, character-driven, and emotionally honest. I believe cinema is more than entertainment; it's a language of empathy, a catalyst for change, and a mirror to our shared truths.
My vision is simple: tell stories that matter. Stories that ask questions. Stories that stay with you long after the credits roll.
100% AI-free: Born from genuine human experience and insight, my writing process ensures authentically crafted stories and scripts.
