What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative film production roles where I can grow as a writer/director/editor, contribute creatively, and gain professional experience in narrative and documentary projects.

I am a creative and motivated filmmaker and writer with technical training in film, photography, screenwriting, and editing. I have written, directed, produced, and edited short films across genres and participated in festivals like J Street Film Festival.

I bring hands-on production experience from university programs and summer intensives, plus service and management roles that developed my organization, time-management, and team leadership skills. I am eager to continue learning and contribute to collaborative film and media projects.
