About

Writer & Director

I'm drawn to stories about people who often go unseen. Growing up as a gay man in a fractured home, I turned to movies to make sense of the chaos — and now I hope to return the favor. My work explores how mental illness, queer identity, and morality shape the choices we make, whether beautiful or ugly. Through a tactile, experimental lens, I aim to create films that don't offer easy answers but do offer connections.
