A young actor and screenwriter who focuses on the theme of human psychology across all spectrums of film genres. The feature-length screenplay Premiant is his debut script.
The author emphasizes the theme of personal identity, intercultural tension between trust, respect, and societal conventions, and the unique bond formed in a hostile environment. The film explores issues of acceptance, prejudice, and injustice in the society of that time, with a vision that can also be reflected in the present day. Equally important is the depiction of the psychological depth of the characters and the gradual escalation of the conflict between condemnation and acceptance.
