FILM
Although I have officially started working on films since 2018, I can’t deny that my love for this industry bloomed during my most tender years - when movies and imagination were weaved so tightly into my world that I could barely tell them apart. That spark only grew stronger the older I became, until it eventually metamorphosed into my passion for filmmaking.
This brought me to London, where I recently graduated from Central Film School with a BA Honors in practical filmmaking. There, I had the pleasure of working on several shorts, honing my skills and developing my own script, which was chosen to receive £2,500 funding from school. After raising £4,000 from a successful Kickstarter I made my debut short film, entitled “Passengers”. Writing, directing, and producing the film was no easy task and it has taught me so much about the filmmaking process, project management, leadership. The film is currently in post production and is aiming for a late 2021 release.
In school, I specialized in Directing and Sound Design/Mixing. I am highly proficient with Premiere (for editing sound/picture) and Logic Pro X for sound design - whether it be cleaning up dialogue, designing soundscapes/sound effects or soundtracking. I am also decently fluent in Pro Tools.
I'm more attracted to experimental, horror-embedded, magical realist pieces - thematic areas I would love to explore further in my filmic career as I continue to learn and sharpen my directing and sound designing capabilities.
