Director Statement

I loved making silly videos and spending days editing them as a kid. I was so shy that I decided to take the most challenging path, so I could change myself. I started studying arts, music, theatre, and ultimately studying film in university. Everything looked extremely difficult and incredibly expensive, but my persistence in searching for opportunities led me to study at three different schools in two different countries. In Toronto, I discovered the beauty of the relationship between films and cities, and then my obsession with Neo-Noir started.
Reel One talks about me, but it is also a homage to one of the greatest Neo-Noir films of all time: Taxi Driver.
