Director Statement

"LIMBO." is a passion project that came to me when I felt the irresistible need to spread my wings further as a filmmaker. I had never tackled directing a narrative short film, especially one with a story crafted by myself. With a vulnerable narrative centered around themes of domestic violence as well as interpersonal and intrapersonal healing, it derives from a place of observing the helpless struggle of attempting to feeling whole again; especially of those who suffer from their past trauma without truly realizing it. With an outstandingly talented team behind it, I could not have asked for any other project to serve as my directorial debut.
