STATEMENT
As someone who has always loved to tell stories and entertain people, I have personally felt motivated to pursue filmmaking as an art form. To express this, I have produced many different projects such as documentaries, narratives, skits, quick interviews, advertisements, and tutorials. Numerous creative influences on my cinematic style span big-budget action spectacles from the mind of Christopher Nolan to the nearly independent feature-length video essays from Youtuber EmpLemon. I decided to create more documentary-oriented projects because I feel with great editing and style, any nonfiction story can be interesting. I hope to have my audience not only enjoy my films but also learn from them. This is what has continued to motivate me to create unique, high-quality projects.
