Director Statement

I make films to tell the truth—especially the kind of truth that’s hard to look at.

As someone who has experienced the weight of trauma and transformation, I use cinema not just to entertain, but to connect, confront, and ultimately, to heal. My stories often begin in the dark but are driven by a relentless search for light—because I believe even the most fractured characters deserve grace and understanding.

With Carbon Footprint, for example, I wanted to explore what happens when we bury our pain too deep, and how grief can echo across relationships like a haunting. My background in SFX makeup allows me to build both literal and emotional scars into every frame—and I strive to do so with authenticity, never spectacle.

To me, directing is a sacred responsibility. Every performance, every frame, every silence—it all speaks to something fragile and real. I’m here to honour that vulnerability and give it a voice. If my films can make someone feel seen, understood, or inspired to speak their truth, then I’ve done my job.
