Magnitude & Bond
Against the current of doubt and limitation, this short documentary follows a blind man who refuses to let loss of sight define the boundaries of his life. Through intimate moments of training, competition, and quiet resilience, the film chronicles his journey into the demanding world of triathlons. Guided by trust, discipline, and an unbreakable will, he swims, bikes, and runs alongside sighted athletes, confronting physical exhaustion and social expectations alike. More than a story about sport, the documentary is a portrait of independence, courage, and the power of redefining what it means to see one’s potential.

Winner Independent Film Award
I’m a freelance camera operator, editor, and director driven by a deep love for visual storytelling. For me, film is more than a medium — it’s a language of light, movement, and emotion. Every frame is an opportunity to translate feeling into image and transform ideas into immersive experiences.
Over the years, I’ve produced and directed five short films, each one a step forward in refining my voice and exploring new creative challenges. From concept development through final edit, I’m passionate about shaping stories at every stage of the process. My background behind the camera and in the edit suite allows me to approach directing with both creative vision and technical precision — always thinking about how a scene will cut together while capturing it in the moment.
As a camera operator, I focus on movement and composition that serve the narrative. As an editor, I value rhythm and emotional timing. As a director, I’m committed to collaboration, authenticity, and finding the heart of each story.
I’m constantly inspired by the power of film to connect people — to make us feel seen, understood, and moved. Whether working on intimate character-driven pieces or visually bold concepts, my goal remains the same: to tell stories that resonate long after the screen fades to black.
