As a filmmaker, I am driven by the belief that cinema is not merely a reflection of reality but a catalyst for transformation. My journey as a director, screenwriter, cinematographer, and editor began with a simple urge: to translate the raw, unscripted poetry of everyday life into stories that resonate universally. Every script I write, every frame I compose, is rooted in the conviction that film has the power to challenge perspectives, ignite empathy, and inspire collective progress. This
My work thrives at the intersection of visceral visuals and profound substance. Whether exploring the existential weight of human ambition or satirizing the absurdity of ideological extremes, I aim to create films that linger in the mind long after the credits roll. Drawing inspiration from both the chaos of daily life and the disciplined rigor of my rowing training—where I learned the value of resilience, teamwork, and precision - I approach filmmaking as a collaborative marathon, not a sprint. Each project is a testament to my belief that artistry and perseverance can turn even the most audacious visions into reality.
Currently, I am developing narratives that blend surreal aesthetics with philosophical inquiry, pushing boundaries to redefine what Eastern European cinema can achieve. While the industry here faces challenges - underfunding, limited recognition - I see opportunity. My goal is not only to elevate regional storytelling on the global stage but to prove that innovation thrives where constraints exist.
I am committed to building bridges: between tradition and avant-garde, between local narratives and universal truths. Every film I create is a step toward a future where cinema is not just consumed but *felt* - a future where stories remind us of our shared humanity. Let’s dare to unsettle, to provoke, and to dream louder together.
