Part-time filmmaker & full time student.

I have been telling stories ever since I learned to write. Something which started as an exercise to learn the language evolved into a passion.

I see filmmaking as a wonderful accumulation of various art forms like painting, writing, music and acting. To bring someone's vision from paper to screen is pure magic in my opinion. I believe that cinema is bigger than all of us. One can't put cinema in a box and define it as such.

Films can be entertaining, educating and empowering. It is a form of self-expression and helps one to step into the lives of different human beings, animals and even fantasy creatures. I personally navigate towards personal stories around me. The untold stories of my people and kin. I want to bring my and their experiences to the screens and yet experiment myself in all genres possible. Like Scorsese said, I want to study the old masters, enrich my palette and expand the canvas.
