I have successfully led multiple projects, including popular drama series and web films, showcasing my ability to bring visions to life.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in leadership, budgeting, and problem-solving, which have played a key role in my success. I excel in breaking down scripts, determining shoot orders, and maintaining strong relationships with production crews and actors. My expertise in direction, combined with my technical skills in software like Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro, allows me to deliver high-quality productions that resonate with audiences.
