Director Statement

My filmmaking is a reflection of my diverse background, merging a professional past as a molecular biologist with a passion for art and filmmaking. The intersection of the scientific and artistic realms has been a compelling force in my work. Beyond the empirical lens of a scientist, I ventured into a more expressive realm to convey my observations of the world. My films are driven by a dual passion—for addressing societal concerns and for the craft itself. With a socially conscious approach, I explore various topics using traditional and stop-motion animation.
Engaged in every technical aspect, I oversee the entire production process, from screenwriting and character development to animation and editing. My films embody a unique perspective shaped by a blend of scientific insight and artistic expression.
