Director Statement

In creating, I believe that the strength of the millennial generation lies in our ability to challenge and explore the dynamics of visual storytelling in the temporal aspect: the power of a moment, the punch of a sudden and what lies within the temporary. This if explored well, will contribute diverse semiotics and hermeneutical approach to filmmaking.
